I believe the purpose is to have the bob-weight horizontal as
much as possible, so it can do what it was designed to do. In the vertical
position, it has a lot less effect. So, with that, closer to the control
rod is good. Also, the more vertical it is, the more it may be in conflict
with other items. Check for clearance in the vertical position as it could
contact the hat shelf close out panel.

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.
