MeSteve’s Build Log

Yeah you are right. I spaced out and thought he was saying the HS ribs needed to line up with the rudder.

After working on the right control stick bearing and mount, and getting it moving as freely as I would like, i have turned my attention to the left (delron) bearing. I have done quite a bit of sanding on the race where it meets the control column but I still have some binding, mostly at the forward 1/2 to 1/3 of range of motion. My calibrated eye says it looks like the tube is out of round some, so I will research that more as time permits. In the mean time, I am going to keep sanding away on the race to open the bearing up some and see if that cleans up the range of motion. At test fit, it didn't look like it would take removing so much material to make a clean install, but it keeps getting better each pass, so I will keep going down this path for now...
