Just starting to build the control column. Can anyone tell me the clearance requiredbetween the bottom of the control stick and the top of the 7/8 inch diatorque tube? Need this info to properly size the attachment fittings that getwelded to the bottom of the control stick. Also, how much clearance is requiredbetween the bottom of the pulleys and the top of the torque tube. Thanks,BartBart D ConradBoeing Field ServiceDC-9/MD-80/DC-10 & 737 Heavy MtcPhone: 713-640-5882/713-324-4192Fax: 713-640-5891Pager: 713-318-1625________________________________________________________________________________

I actually had to mill off just a little on one of minebecause it was touching the torque tube! Larry________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks for the information. That will take away much of the guess work. Bart> ----------
