+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Yes, that's basically how my setup works. I may have used a longer spacer on the bellcrank in the stub wing to lower the pushrod a bit more than yours and I used AN3 washers for spacers on the aileron bellcrank. As for the wood washer, see: http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_cat.php/subid=1028/index.html The generally accepted practice is to install one of these larger diameter washers on the outside of a rodend bearing, under the castle nut or locknut. On close inspection you will notice that if the bearing fails and comes out of the socket, the outside housing could slip right over the nut. The larger "wood washer" will capture the housing in such a failure and will at least not become totally disconnected. That might allow the system to function on a limited basis as in a throttle connection or a control surface movement. I personally have never heard of such a failure but there must be a reason to have started that practice. Larry Flesner
