First check out" http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flesner/02092587.jpg I used 1/4" rod, threaded on each end, and a rod end bearing on each end with a lock nut. You may have to space the rod end bearing off the aileron bell crank with a couple of washers to prevent binding during full travel. Don't forget to install a "wood washer" on the outside of each bearing to prevent detachment if the bearing fails. Using the spacer at the stub wing bell crank attach point helps with the geometry. Make sure the bearing on that end, both ends for that matter, are locked down tight. You want zero slop in the system. I don't recall if I had to put a slight bend in the push rods or not. Install one and make whatever modifications it takes to work. The less complex you can make it the better. The goal is to transfer motion from the bell crank in the wing to the aileron. Try to keep it simple. E-mail me privately if you'd like to see a picture of the installed components. I can run by the airport and take a picture. Larry Flesner
