i have a 601xl with dual stick mod
when moving the sticks in the back forth motion all is well but when the sticks are moved forward then left or right the control rod end catchs the horn on the control connection
the control connection has a dual horn on it not a single connection like on the building pictures the control rod end is clamped between the two horns but this then catches see pictures to understand (i hope)

Is that the factory mod? Because the one I got from Zenith isn't made like that. It only has the single horn.

I had exactly the same problem, it binds when the sticks are fully forward,
but only when they are moved to the left.

My kit is the CZAW version (I'm in the UK), they weren't very helpful when I
queried it with them. The problem seems to be that the spacing between the 2
horns is too narrow to allow you to fit the bushes that all the other
rod-ends have.

What I did was to carefully grind back the side of the rod-end that was
fouling. I suspect that, when the elevator cables are attached and the
elevator stops installed, the fore and aft stick movement will be limited so
it won't be a problem.

Hi Gig,

Dual stick was an option offered by CZAW.

My XL kit-supplied dual stick horn only has a single plate and ball-joint rod ends at both the horn and the bellcrank.

hi
i think that it is a CZAW mod but it does not work it was bought from CZAW but i would prefer the USA kit

have left messages with CZAW but as they no longer sell the zenair series they are not much help (no at all really)

the updates on the drawings state that the rods should be made shorter this also does not work with the CZAW dual stick kit

hopefully grinding away the small amount of the horn will do the trick
