I also fond in my initial fit up of the linkage that spacers were going
to be needed. Although I wasn't surprised as I had modified the bell
crank to fit neatly in the new airfoil. I'm using 3/16" alum tube cut to
length as spacers.
Larry - Sorry, but I don't follow the thought. I'm using fiberlock
castle nuts with cotter pins on the rotating bolts. ( belt and suspenders
in my thoughts) Isn't that OK.?
