Brief Description:  Control Column

I located the hardware to assemble the control sticks into the control column as instructed. While trying to put the bolts in for the control stick pivots, I found that they wouldn't go through the bushings. After much measuring, I brought the bushings out into the shop and set them up in the lathe and bored out the holes with a 1/4" drill.

That did the job and all went together nicely.

Installed the rod ends onto the control column after setting the jam nuts to the proper dimension. I took the sticks apart in order to get the control column into the airplane because the column will not be able to be inserted into place in the aircraft. Inserted the control column into the airplane
and will re-install the control sticks in the next session.
