Or do what I did. Reverse the bob weight from
how the plans so it. This brings it down closer to the Control rod. The
point of having the bob weight low and close to the push rod is to give a
heavier feel to the elevator control. My control tube was about an inch
too short so if I mounted the bob weight the way the plans showed (on top of the
arms) then it was sitting a little high off the control tube. So I talked to
Ross and Lancair and he said I could turn it over to get the weight lower and
closer to the control tube. I did that and now it sits about 3/4" off
the control tube. I think I can live with that over rebuilding the control
tube, although I haven't made this my final decision yet.

Garry,
I hate to suggest it, but you could make a longer push rod.
Garry,
Yes,
in this case, more is fine. I believe that quote came because there was a
guy who had his bob weight in upside down (appearing right side up, btw).
He was unable to get enough forward stick authority to exit his
stall testing and went crunch.
IMHO, the 1/4" is affectively a "no
interference" requirement.

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. Regards, Garry V. Laznicka L-360c
