I had that problem. I found that the drive plate had gotten tweaked
slightly, putting a drive pin out of parallel with the socket in the TP
root. I gently bent it back using a large crescent wrench slid over the end
of the drive plate. Smooth as silk now.
You can try measuring with dial calipers the distance from the drive pin tip
to torque tube versus the root of the pin to torque tube.

<paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I am interested in anyone's experience with tight tail planes. The problem
I am having is the tail planes fit snuggly until the last 5mm and them need
to be pushed home hard. The only way I can get them off is to pry them off
with a screw driver which doesn't do the paint much good. I'd like some
idea on what I can to improve the situation.
