Hi! Richard.
Hopefully you noticed my suggestion of lubrication facilities through an
aerosol tube to the rear
bushes through the seat backs?
Also IMHO don't stress the module into place in the lower fuselage if there
are gaps that can't be closed resonably just trowel redux into them using a
strong light behind to ensure filled.
Additional redux will be lighter than needing layers of outside filler to
fill resultant hollows!

Subject: aileron control front bearing
I am about to redux together the front assembly of my aileron control,
sandwiching the tufnol bearing between the CS03 bush and the CS02 control
stick fork, then fixing in the CS05 tube.
I have checked all the archive material and noted the concerns over stiff
roll control. As a result I have decided that I should
1). carefully open up the hole in the tufnol slightly to give a little extra
'play'
2). place a sheet of polythene between the tufnol and the flange of the CS03
bush, removing it once cured to give a little end float.
3). Fix several lengths of fine fishing line or similar, equally spaced
around the diameter through the length of the inside of CS02 and CS03 when
bonding to ensure they are central and correctly aligned.
4). Ensure that the radius on the bottom of the tufnol block is sufficient
to allow it to fit squarely to the front of the seat base.
Is this sufficient to prevent stiffness developing or can anyone suggest
anything else I might do before I start?
