Jeffrey. I assume you have mounted your actuator on the aft side of
the bottom channel. I did that too with the same results you
describe. I mounted mine on top of the channel. It's been a while
but if I recall correctly I riveted a .040 or .060 doubler plate to
the top of the channel and mounted the actuator mount bracket there.
You have enough wiggle room to get the correct distance for actuator
travel. I mounted the position sensor approx half way to the top tube
using a model airplane clevis and rod. Exact position requires trial
and error temporary mounting to get the correct travel of the sensor
arm. The sensor fits nicely to the vertical angle on the seat back
and the wire rod is tied to the flaperon tube with an "S" bend. Hope
this helps.

Jim,
I ended up mounting my actuator on top of the channel similarly to how
you describe your setup. I have the position sensor on top of the
actuator, but may move it higher to match the exact distance of the
sensor. Good luck on your first flight!
Jeff
