...but it does have to do with interference to the aileron push rods.  Did
anybody install both of the 1/4" machine screws that go into the spar at
BL48.25 below the main wing attach bolt?  Here's my problem (one of them, at
least):  I was trial fitting the aileron push rod before installing the wing
ribs when I found that the aileron push rod connecting the aileron idler arm
and the aileron bellcrank rubs against the machine screw that sits above the
wing attach bolt.  I can't get enough washers in front of the aileron idler
arm to get the required clearance without running out of threads on the bolt
the idler arm mounts on.  I could move the aileron bellcrank rearward, but it
would have to be moved about 3/4" in order to get the required clearance.  
Orin said to just remove the screw, fill the hole with flox, and re-drill the
hole below the wing attach bolt.  This would eliminate the interference with
the pushrod, and I wouldn't have to hack up the wing ribs in order to realign
the pass-thru tube.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Did you re-drill the
screw hole?

By the way, I have nothing against either the auto fuel discussion or the
ceramics discussion, so please don't take offense if you're one of the
participants in either of these.
