The stick as delivered from Van's had approx 10 3/4" diameter between insid
e surfaces. Packed stick with sand. Went slowly with first one. Discovered n
eeded 3/4" of compression before getting any permanent bend. Compressed it t
o slightly under 9" measurement, which after release of pressure gave a 9 3/
4" dimension. That was just right, as I could see the tubing just beginning t
o slightly deform. Second stick came out within 1/8" dimension of first. No
w have full up and down travel on elevator without stick grip hitting panel,
although knuckles might get a little bruising if really need full nose down
. Back to working on the 90% of remaining 5% or something like that.
