Mounting the control sticks and connector shafts:
 Place the control stick, slip the bolt through, apply Loctite 243 to the nut and tighten.
Mark the nut with red paint.
 Setting the connector shafts is a little more complicated, because the control sticks must
be aligned and kept symmetric. This can be done with a guide/jig, similar to the one
shown below, which can be clamped to the fuselage. The appropriate distance between
control sticks can then be marked on the guide/jig.
 After assembling the connector shafts, examine the position of the control sticks related
to the marks on the guide/jig. If they are not aligned with the marks, disassemble the
connector shaft. Then screw or unscrew the connector shaft's bearing housing by one
turn, depending on the position of the control stick, and assemble the connector shaft
once again. Continue doing this until the control sticks are properly aligned and parallel.
