Donald / Bud and all.
The problem is NOT Connected with the TS05 Push Rod. It is the TS03 Bell
Crank lever which fouls on the root of the plastic fork on the Clevis which
is pinned to and drives the Bell Crank. The fouling happens because the two
clevises are too long for the bell crank to describe it's geometric circle
of motion with out fouling up in the base of the lower fork at it's fully
driven position down. Please see Tony's photo and description I sent back
to him and Fred below . and read the description I sent with the photo.

Hi! Tony,
You shorten the plastic where both ends meet at position 2 on your picture
. The fouling occurs in the base of the fork at the metal lever in the full
travel down position of the lower fork which is hidden by the bracket in
your picture . It can be witnessed by operating the motor to it's end
limit and you can hear the motor labour as soon as it fouls. I don't recall
how much I removed but I would guess 1/8" but I don't remember if it was
---From both or just one.
I suggest you do one first then do a trial run if it still fouls do the
other similarly.
I'm sorry but I would have expected someone in real authority to have come
on scene on this issue by now? I'm beginning to wish I hadn't put my oar in
the puddle !
Further note:- YOU DO NOT TRIM THE FORKS ANYWHERE BUT THE THREADED ENDS
ENABLING THEM TO BE CLOSER TOGETHER on the threaded rod.
(Contrary to more recent suggestions on here.)

Hi Bob,
Like Fred, I just want to clarify that you shorten the clevis from the end
that abuts the other clevis. Is that right, and do you remember how much you
cut away? Do you recall what part actually does the binding?? I've numbered
the pic below.

Tony R.

Hi! Tony I'm thinking it is detail that is not in the manual and you only
find it on final check through and then have to piss about getting back into
it to dismantle it to effect the work. If not done it stresses out by
binding up in the root of the clevis before the end of the travel as others
are now confirming !
Good luck!

Hi Bob,
With my setup I don't recall shortening the clevis, either top or bottom. Do
you recall if it is in the instructions? I notice on Fred's pics they are
butting together with no visible link rod. Will go out and look at my own
setup when I properly start my day. These iPads are great for reading
emails, and newspaper before getting out of bed.

Attention Fred Klein .
Whilst I am not wishing to "enter the fray" about the issue of connectors it
occurs to me having looked at your photo of your servo and the plastic
clevises to ask if you have shortened them before connecting them with the
piece of threaded rod? You are headed for some hassle if you haven't,
since you won't get enough trim through the operating range of the
Stabilators without the bottom clevis fouling up on the operating lever at
the end of the travel range.. ( I think that was the best description of the
problem but check it out Fred before you close it up with the top on!)
