 " What is wrong with my simple fix of replacing the TP5 with a long TP5
reaching up to the TP6, ensuring that the TP6 cannot ever move inboard.
This also fixes another problem, namely the disbonding of the TP5s , which
has happened to me on both tailplanes. "

 That is exactly what i did during the build. I sourced alloy tube with  the
same ID as the TP5/6 tubes, made it about 100mm longer
than the torque tube, so it runs from the inner plywood where the drive
bushes are out past the central rib in the tailplane. It did require
a slight change in the build order, as i epoxied it into the foam before I
created the rib, this however would be hard to do on a completed
tailplane.
