Ditto for me but only because I couldn't get the darn rivets to set
correctly.

I had mine welded to avoid this problem. $20 at a local weld shop.

Wrapping up the last parts of the wings ... installed the
aileron pushrods and bellcrank. Disapointed to see that the
steel pushrod fouls the edge of the openning in the rear spar
at both limits of aileron movement. The max deflection of the
aileron is within the limits set in the construction manual
(Section 15) but you can alread see that the powder coat on the
pushrod is being marred. Also, at max up deflection one of the
rivet heads that secure the rod end "catches" on the edge of
the opening - this worries me - I see potential for a jammed
flight control.
Its hard to see how this cannot have been a problem in every
kit since there's not much latitude for positioning given that
all the holes are prepunched.
Anyone else have these issues ?

:-))) I worked so hard on that problem (filling the void in the
rod end with alum rod and epxoy, etc) that I totally missed the
fact that rivets are NOT the way to go here anyway ...
Oh well ... I'll deal with this later - the fuselage is
calling, calling, calling ...
Thanks all for your comments.
