Why not just use the way it is on the plans? Glue and a wood screw to attach it
to each rib, works great minimum time to assemble.
Alignment is only one part, now you have two and more gluing.
Keep it simple.

Here is how I tackled this rather "simple" question. I had the tail assembl
ed on the plane.- I ran string from the rudder up to the rudder bar which
has not been mounted, and was able to move the rudder through it's max ran
ge of motion, (hitting the elevators). From here, I moved the rudder bar fo
re and aft to position it so just before max travel at the rudder, the bar
would hit the pass. seat supports. (Built in travel stops.) These stops wil
l get some aluminum to protect the wood.
When fabricating the control sticks, I moved the connecting rod between the
sticks up some. This puts the connecting rod higher towards the top of the
"V" cutouts in the pass. seat back and bottom, which allows more stick tra
vel for the ailerons. Once I am able to fit the wings and ailerons, I will
limit this travel as needed with blocks on the floor under the aileron horn
on the torque tube. This will allowing full travel of the ailerons, but th
e connecting rod will not hit the "V" cut outs.- (As it sits now, the ail
eron horn on the torque tube hits the floor prior to the connecting rod hit
ting the "V" cutouts.)- With this added height on the connecting rod, I w
as able to raise my rudder bar to fit nicely into the area of my foot which
feels best to me...not down around my heel, but not up at the toe either.

My aileron stops are really my legs. I put stops on the floor(wood blocks).
They work until I get in!

Copy that Jerry! legs seem to be the limiting factor on aileron travel.

Thanks for the comments Michael! Another questions, on your site I noticed
a picture of your rudder bar with tubing of some sort coming out of each
end. What are those?
Thanks,

Our EAA Chapter always group camps near the East end of Roads Alpha, Bravo
or Charlie . Look for the EAA CHAPTER 976 signs and our Black trailer. We
have 18 going this year, so looks like we'er in for a really fun time. We
are flying down Saturday the 26th. Looks like rain on Sunday for us so we
want to beat it out. Harold and I are not flying the Big Piets, but are
flying our J3 Cubs and will be in the Cub Convoy of over 100 cubs on Monday.
Frank and Bruce and flying their Big Piet's and Gardiner is flying his Piet.
Hope to see you there.

I'm going to fly over after work on Monday night. I'm staying with a friend
in his motor home, so I'll be in the campground too. I figured you guys
will be parked in the Auto conversion area, but I'll try to park as close
as they'll let me (A-65)
