Amazing you are going to ignore the very simple and probable solution of just one test flight with the lines just a bit closer together at the handle before you start rebuilding whole linkages. That only takes minutes at the field.

Just one more personal thought and opinion. This is a forum after all and forums are indeed all about opinions. The idea of deliberately adding slop to a control system in an attempt to prevent huntin or PIO is a mistake.

Just one short flight with the lines a little closer at the handle is all its gonna take to convince you
