* 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: 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. 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. 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). The WD-1011-L/R Control Stick Bases have large tolerances concerning the angle the control stick has versus the WD-1010 Control column. If the angle is more forward, your stick will interfere more with the panel. If the angle is more rearwards, the bottom aileron pushrod bolts of the Control Stick Base will interfere with the F-1033-L/R Control Column Mounts. Also the aileron center pushrod will interfere with the tunnel side wall cutouts. Consider asking Vans for an exchange of the bases if they are too far off. | ||
** 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).
