Just a note:
I got my new right stick and base yesterday and installed it last night.
This one did not have the receiver angled out toward the co pilots right
knee.
I was very careful in installing the bushing and making the bushing receiver
only 1/64-1/32 smaller.
There is abolutely no play in the piece. Now my left side is not as good as
I have about 1/16" space difference between the bushing and the bushing
receiver in the base.
Best Method:
use your AN4 bolt and insert it into one hole in the tie rod fork that holds
the two bases(Sticks) together. While the bolt is in one hole, let the other
end of the bolt hit the other side of the fork, ever so slightly to the side
of the hole.
Mark your bolt with a sharpie( the inner distance between the two holes)
This gets an accurate distance as the end of the fork distance may be
different from the distance between the holes.
Put your bushing next to the bolt, both on end, on a perfectly flat
surface(Back rivet plate) and mark the length on the bushing.
Put the bushing in your drill press and spin is and mark the circumference
of your mark onto the bushing.
Sand the bushing on you disk sander or bench belt sander with a way to
maintain it perpendicular to the disk or belt. Trim it just shy of your
mark. keep it over size.
Install the bushing without the base, into the fork and check snugness.
Place bushing in base then make base 1/64" smaller
It willl glide just like the contol stick of really expensive airplane. Oh'
I forgot, this is a really expensive airplane!
