Hi everyone,



Has anyone else had any problems with the pushrod

bumping the bottom of the F-641 with the control in

the full forward position? I have checked and double

checked both the pushrod installation and the mounts

for the control column and am unable to get it any

lower. I spoke with vans a while back about it and

they said to just cut a notch in the center of the

F-641 at its lowest spot so it doesnt hit the pushrod.

Also this notch will be between the side panels for

the electric flap actuator.



Any ideas folks? I am at a loss....

Erik:



I have just a tad of interference as you mention.  It is very minimal, and 

IMHO will not be a factor.



Unless you do some major acro, how many times are you going to apply full 

down elevator?

Erik,

I had the same problem on my 6A. The control rods are not adjustable to get this issue resolved.  Grab your half round file or dremel and make sure you have ~1/8" clearance underneath. You don't want this part to hang up at any time.

      some of the material, it was very little, just enough for the push rod, to
	


      move freely..  that is the center,  of cockpit center well no?

       Just be sure the rod does not trouch anywhere when moving to full

       deflection..
