REFLECTOR: Stick play (no, not that kind)

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

There was a mod in the reflector from some time back regarding stick play. It 
consisted of glassing a wide area washer to the torque tube, and one to the 
stick tube. I liked the simplicity of it, the larger area for distributing the 
load, and an area sufficient for lubricant. 
I did this to mine after I had already installed the torque tube, and it was 
a simple task. 
The picture is still accessible in the archives. It works great.

By the way, thanks are in order to Velocity and the whole building process. I 
just rebuilt the tip tanks on my Cherokee 235 (fiberglass, repaired Very 
poorly by an A&P).  I completely rebuilt them and sealed them with Jeffco. They 
are 10 times better than original equipment.

New tanks from Piper (without holes, fixtures or paint) $6000.00   

Completely rebuilding my own, with all new fixtures, and paint:  $550.00

Not having to pay ridiculous prices for obsolete parts:  Priceless  :)
