REFLECTOR: Aileron cable too short

Y'all,
I'll be back on this. I have drilled the bell crank, but that's as far as
we got. I now need to shim up the cable clamp point to line up with the new
bell crank drill point. I am waiting on a .7 hunk of AL to use as a shim.
Kurt, you are right I am worried some about force to move the stick. It is
pretty stiff already, but I haven't lubed anything yet. Also the closer to
the pivot point the more sensitive it will be for pilot induced
oscillations.
Oh, in case you non dash 5 types are following this, my aileron bell cranks
point down from the torque tube pivot point.

If you have more toom for stick travel, you could make a similar change
on the other end of the cable so that the force would remain the same.
