REFLECTOR: Torque on elevator push/pull tube

[Brian Michalk via Reflector]

I measured my down elevator deflection, and found that I was not getting 
the full throw, and decided to adjust the length of the push pull tube 
to fix the problem.

I unscrewed five turns on the rod end, and then tightened up the locking 
nuts.  Next, I was checking for full range of controls and noticed that 
the rod ends are rotating in the tube at the ends of the max aileron 
travel.  The problem is that the rod ends are not able to handle the 
entire rotation of the aileron tube.  The threaded portion of the rod 
ends are rotating inside the bushing.

Has anyone else seen this?  I strongly believe that this is a problem, 
but I've never heard of anyone else with this problem.  It might take a 
few years, but it seems like the threads will eventually strip out.
