I have checked and double checked both the pushrod installation and the mounts for the control column and am unable to get it any lower. I spoke with vans a while back about it and they said to just cut a notch in the center of the F-641 at its lowest spot so it doesnt hit the pushrod. Also this notch will be between the side panels for the electric flap actuator. Any ideas folks? I am at a loss....

It is very minimal, and IMHO will not be a factor. Unless you do some major acro, how many times are you going to apply full down elevator?

The control rods are not adjustable to get this issue resolved. Grab your half round file or dremel and make sure you have ~1/8" clearance underneath. You don't want this part to hang up at any time.
