Thanks Colin, Mark, and Mark;
I think I will live with the 2" of travel for the control movement at the stick
connection. Since I haven't built the control horns for the ailerons yet I see
some corrections can be made. (How many I Build to get it right will depend.)
Thanks KRne
e set up I would like to know if this is OK? or Should I redo? I Might be
able to tweek it to get 2" of travel but no more.

I asked this one way but did not get an answer. Mark did reply. Re phrased.
Can someone measure the total travel the aileron cable makes at the stick
connection? Mine is looking like 1.75" maybe 2.0". Is this going to be enough?
Thank you.

disc mounted on a table saw or radial arm saw will come in handy
at this time for shaping the gusset blocks."
Also most of the joints are also backed up with plywood skin which also acts
like a gusset. Its your choice to build as you see fit. Just keep your glue
joints from starving.
