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.
Regards,
Garry V.
