Brief Description:  Control stick assembly

- Re-riveted the two vertical angles on the spar tunnel, this time with the heads on the correct side.

- Test fit the control assembly. There was 3/8" of slack to take up left to right, but 2 washers on one side and 3 on the other got it tightened up.

- While testing the travel of the assembly all the way back to the tail, I saw the pushrod was hitting the bottom of the hole in C06-04 (that's F03-02 if you don't do the lowered seat mod). So per photo #3 I enlarged the hole downward with a file to the pushrod travels fully.

As with nearly every bushing called out by Sonex for the steel/welded parts, the bushings called out for the control triangle are too short. They need to protrud slightly out the other side of the piece, but even after sanding off the paint, the bushing was too short to reach through. So I will go to the hardware store, like I usally do, and get some longer ones to cut down to size.
