Hi Garry,

Glad to hear that you're still working on your = 360. I=20 would consider the
1/4" figure in the manual to be a = minimum. We=20 certainly don't want the lead
weight to be hammering the push = rod. I=20 believe that anything (within

Since you're rigging the controls, you must be = getting=20 close to flight, eh?

Looking at the page 15-28 Rev = 6/04-01-99=20 in "Lancair 320FB manual" where
Figure-9a is depicted, it's = specified=20 there that with full elevator down (11

from Rear push/pull = tube. My=20 question is:

Would that be acceptable to have this distance at=20 0.59"

I = am=20 maxed out on push-rods travel at this point.
