Control Sticks

A couple of notes on the control sticks.
1) It is way easier to rivet the rear plate/closing plate on the rear bushing BEFORE trying to install it in place with the four spar bolts. I promise you can manipulate the stick with the bracket attached and get it in position.
2) If you are going to cut down the length of the control sticks and paint them, it is much easier to do both BEFORE installing the sticks.
3) To get acceptable freedom of movement, you may need to tweak the angle of the channel that holds the front bushing.
