Hi Garry,

Glad to hear that you're still working on your 360. I would consider the 1/4" figure in the manual to be a minimum.  We certainly don't want the lead weight to be hammering the push rod.  I believe that anything (within reason) more than 1/4" would be acceptable.

Since you're rigging the controls, you must be getting close to flight, eh?

Looking at the page 15-28 Rev 6/04-01-99 in "Lancair 320FB manual" where Figure-9a is depicted, it's specified there that with full elevator down (11 degrees) the Elevator Idler arm (which supports the Bob weight) to be 1/4" from Rear push/pull tube. My question is:

Would that be acceptable to have this distance at 0.59"
Or is it absolutely critical that I have it at 0.25"

I am maxed out on push-rods travel at this point.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and advice.
