REFLECTOR: Results (control Stick)

[Ron N Velocity XLFG]

Been a long time since I did this . As I remember there is a bearing in the Torque tube to keep 
it Perpendicular. I just put a the bolt through the stick hole and through the Torque tube hole and tightened 
them together with the washes between them  Then made may casting.

  That's a simple method.  How did you assure the washers are perfectly perpendicular to the bolt?  I rubbed my surfaces with a carbon motor brush.  That gave it a slippery feel.

    Now that I am fling I would say that I really like the results of this modification. The only change I did 
    was to use one Brass washer and one Stainless steel washer to provide a better bearing surface. 
    Dissimilar materials helps to prevent galling. Really stiffed up the stick.
