I'm about to insert the wd-0012 control sticks into  the wd-0011 stick mounts and the instructions basically say "put it in as far as  it will go"      The engineer in me says "what the heck  does that mean?"   The stick mount has a weld joining two  tubes,   Have you all worked to get the control stick to go in beyond  the weld?   Have any of you cut the end of the control stick at an  angle to allow the stick to bottom out inside the wd-0011 stick  mount?   Also were your stick mounts suffiecently out of round so that  it was a real battle to get the stick to go into the mount.   ( i've  already deburred and removed some of the weld slag and now am about to deal with  the out of round condition) 

  

 Thoughts and comments needed.

  

 Best regards,

I found that a bigger hammer worked quite well.

Really, I milled the stick out to fit because I’ve got this amazing neighbor, or he milled it to fit.

Mine weren't super out of round, but I do think I did some generous

rotational sanding around the tube to make sure it slid in, and

I sure don't want to take them out again.
