Built up the carbon push rod.


After some fussing a triple checking cut a slot in the outboard fuse side for the exit. I installed a 2-56 Swivel Ball Link on the bell crank. Screwed the push rod into the Swivel Ball Link. Then i noticed the assembly felt stiff. What the heck. Fussed with it some, but still stiff. removed the bottom bell crank ply mount plate thing that maybe there was a misalignment. Stinking thing is still stiff. Long story short I had a bad Swivel Ball Link. When I took it out, it was very noticeably stiff.


Go figure.


Replaced and it is super smooth and free.


It had me scratching my head for a little bit though.
