I have a question re: rigging of the  elevators.  I've used the neutral position jigs for the elevator bellcrank  and the control sticks to set the pushtube lengths and come up with a situation  where the control  stick interconnect ( F1065 ) contacts the  underlying structure before the elevator is at its full up travel.  So I've  adjusted the pushtubes to give full up elevator before any contact of the stick  interconect.  This leaves the elevator bellcrank at a different neutral  angle than the jig but I can't see why it would matter.  Unless, that is,  if it interferes with the pitch servo of the TruTrak AP.  No interference  in the system now with full up or down elevator deflection.  What say you  all?  On another topic, seems that my baggage door came out the same as  everyone else.  Top edge of it stood proud a bit but some massaging with my  fingers and seamers it looks pretty good now.  Thanks to everyone who  contributes their help to this list.  You've made my build experience go  very smoothly.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

John,



I don't think you have an issue as long as you get full travel without interference while using the stick. Once you engage the aouto pilot the servo knows it's hold position is and will move the controls, a very minimal amount to maintain either altitude or if your lucky, a rate of climb or decent based on the input from the AP head. I doubt you will ever ask the AP servo to try and move the control surfaces from stop to stop...but as CJ says...I don't know nuthin!!!

Thanks Rick for the reply.  I don't think there's an issue here either but 

thought I'd ask around.
