* Step 1: The bearing surface is between the outer side of the bushing and the inside of the base pivot tube. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the bolt sits tight inside the bushing, it's actually good if it sits tight. Be careful removing burrs from the inside of the base pivot tube. The play between the bushing and the base pivot tube must be minimal. Consider adding grease to the outside of the brass bushing (e.g. [https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/aerogrease22.php Aeroshell #22] which is also later needed for the wheel bearings). | * Step 1: The bearing surface is between the outer side of the bushing and the inside of the base pivot tube.

* Step 3: If you install an Aerosport 310 panel, you probably will have interference between the grip and the panel. Also, if you opted to let the elevator travel reach its maximum angle of 25 degrees down (only 20 down is required, see first flight section), even the stock panel might interfere with a grip (especially the Tosten 8 button since it is tilted forward). | * Step 3: Insert the bolts that hold the aileron pushrods from front to back to avoid binding with the F-1033 Control Column Mounts.<br>If you install an Aerosport 310 panel, you probably will have interference between the grip and the panel.

** To fix the grip interference, a lot of builders bend the control stick with e.g. a hydraulic HF tube bender (don't forget to fill the tube with sand). However, then, the elevator all up position might interfere with the pilot / passenger with the seats in the front 3 notches, especially, if you opted to let the elevator travel reach its maximum angle of 30 degrees up (only 25 up is required).

** Tosten supplies a 5 degree tilt adapter on request that moves the top of the stick about 0.5 inches back. | |||
** If you want to reach larger tilt angles, see this [https://www.facebook.com/groups/vansrv10/posts/7107824319338606] FB thread that refers to a 22.7 degree [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e3c6c2af5a7c15a30cca2d9d/w/3c4894569a1b3b37534c99c5/e/b8cecdb7397c155bd10b12e5?renderMode=0&uiState=65f0676bc5144567a3afc4d2 adapter design that yields 2.5 inches].<br>[[File:2024-03-11 20-12-02.jpeg|400x400px]]<br> | |||
** Some have opted to lengthen the pushrod setup to move the stick aft. This may require longer rod end bearings as the stock thread engagement is only about 1/2 inch. This may introduce dangerous binding between the aileron pushrod bolts and the F-1033 Control Column Mounts which needs shaving. | |||
