Hi Group

We're in the process of installing the flap control on our XS Monowheel.

We needed to tweak (bend)  the pushrod a little to get it to clear the rear 
liftpin
tierod and pitch cross tube.

Things are looking about as good as they are going to get.

When gear is up or down when the flap pushrod is at rest (1 positive G), the rod
is resting on the aft most right side of the tunnel.

The thing I'm not crazy about, if I push the flap pushrod port, which would 
represent
negative G's (bouncing on the ground), it can rub on the pitch pushrod,
or the head of the front attachment bolt for the pitch pushrod.

Have those flying just ignored this, or put some sort of wear block/guide to 
keep
it from the pitch pushrod?

Details most welcomed.

Thx.
Sincerely
Ron Parigoris
