pushrod guide tubes
How important are pushrod guides? Do you really need the whole tube, or could you get rid of part to prevent binding? I made a stupid mistake and decided to use the pushrods that came with my kit. They make a slight bend through the fuse, and are being held up by the tubes. The surfaces move great, but the last little bit is not returning to center. I want to get rid of part of the tubes, but leave about 2 inches on each side of the bulkheads. I figured I would ask around to make sure I don't do something that will comprimise the safety of my plane.
