Brief Description:	control linkages
Completed the assembly of the control linkages by attaching the pushrod to the forward stick. I spend about an hour trying to fit the 2 washers, size .060 called for in the plans into the assembly alongside the rod end bearing. I finally realized that there was no way both washers would fit. So, I used 2 washers .030 in size instead. It went together relatively easily with those washers. I moved the stick and pushrods to test their movement. There is a loud screeching noise and binding in the system. I will investigate that during the next build session.
