I kept the motion mixer but changed to a welded 4130 tube that is jointed
just behind the seat back bulkhead with one of those booted U-joints (also
welded). Have a ball bearing instead of phenolic at the lift bulkhead.
Will probably add a reflexer mechanism per the gene Evans scheme. The
U-joint will help here as the reflexer requires up and down travel. Only
bolts are where the comtrol stick attach to the torque shaft. Double bolted
here.
Very little slop.
