I ended up using some spacers from the hardware store to space
the aileron push rod off the aileron arm.  It took approx 3/16" to
keep the rod from binding.  I started with  longer spacers and filled
them down to the length needed.  Have a helper move the stick through
it's full travel and check to see if the pushrod will rotate slightly (not
binding) at each end of the travel extreem.  I also spaced the pushrod
down from the bellcrank for better alignment.

Also, make sure you use a "wood washer" over the outside of the
rod end bearing on each end.  If the bearing comes loose from the
rod end, the rod won't drop completely off.
