I have a question regarding turnbuckle use. I switched from single center stick to rands dual stick assembly. On my single stick I had the turnbuckles for the elevator hooked directly to the stick via a AN161-16RS fork this is also the same as the MS21252-3RS fork. The problem with the dual stick is that there is not enough play behind where the AN3 bolt goes through which makes it rub on the floor. I have noticed on some of the posted pictures a very short cable in-between the stick and the rest of the cable. I think I could eliminate this extra short cable if I could find a fork that would fit in the barrel that had 1/2" behind the bolt instead of the 1/4". Any suggestions?
Different subject, I had a heart attack on the second of November and they found the blockage and installed a stint in the area to fix the problem. I told my cardiologist that I am a licensed private pilot and he told me that the FAA would require me to be grounded a minimum of six months. Have any of you been through this or know what my responsibilities are in this matter and just what hoops I am now required to jump through for them? Am I supposed to notify the FAA when something like this has happened? Bud Midkiff (KR-2 stretched to KR2S length) Lynnwood, WA email: c.midk...@verizon.net
