 Once installed, examine the rotation of the control stick drive. It should rotate very
smoothly and without any resistance. If some resistance is encountered, unscrew the
mounting plates and open up the holes a little. Reexamine the rotation and, if need be,
continue opening the holes until smooth, unresisted rotation is achieved.
 If either of the control stops touch the opening in the floor, use a dremel and cut away
about 1mm of material. If you need to cut away any material make sure that you grind
the corners to leave a small radius, if you leave a corner square and sharp it may crack
some time in the future, if you leave the corner round it will not crack.
 Mount the elevator drive pushrod to the control stick drive. From experience it has been
found that having the locking nut turned 3 full turns off the thread end is desired, as this
will position the control sticks in a central position suitable for most pilots. Apply Loctite
243 and red paint.
