Push rod too long!


Well I screwed the pooch on this one. Don't know what, how, when, or where I screwed up but one push rod is 10mm too long. I don't know if the sub trim was off, the arm was on wrong spline, or blah, blah, blah, blah. There is no amount of programming endpoints, sub trim, clevis adjustment etc that will fix this and keep symetrical movement on both stabs. My only choice is to fix it. The only problem is it all glued in and pinned inside the aluminum cap, and will not come out easily. I'm thinking about cutting the 8mm CF tube, splicing inside with a 6mm tube, and sliding a 10mm carbon tube over the splice and gluing everything back together. It will be fine except it will look like a 3rd grader made it. Arrrgh!
I'll have to wait till next week. Grandkids flew in from Texas for the week so I will stew on it for a few days. Arrgh!
