Brief Description:  Began mounting control rods in fuselage

Installed the pilot's sticks on the control column. Installed the push rod that connects the pilots' sticks. Measured the distance between the control sticks and the top and bottom they were parallel so no adjustment was necessary.

Removed pilot's sticks from the control column. Positioned the control column in the underfloor area and installed the rod ends that attach the control column to the fuselage and bolted the threaded end of the rod ends to the forward mounting angle and aft control mount. After tightening up the nuts there was significant binding. Unbolted the control mount and clecoed the cockpit floor in place. repositioned the control mount but noticed that where it wanted to sit was about 3/16" aft of were it should be meaning that a shim would be required between the forward control mount angle and the spar carry through. I experimented with .064" washers to move the angle forward but it was too much so the next step will be to fabricate a shim out of .032" aluminum.
