I contacted Roger at Zenith and he says this is common. In fact, it happened on their demo plane. The solution Roger recommended was attaching a nylon bearing on the bottom of the baggage compartment. This is acceptable if the cable deflection is less than 3 degrees. If it's greater than 3 degrees (unlikely for this problem), the solution gets tougher because a pulley is required. See the attached photo for my solution. Regarding the seat back channel interference, could you consider installing a slightly smaller pitch control rod? The elevator bellcrank should be just a hair away from the seat back channel when the stick is full forward. Adjustments to the elevator full forward position can be done by adjusting your turnbuckles so the elevator is full down at 28 to 30 degrees with the bellcrank almost contacting the seat back channel.
