Installing control sticks took longer than I thought. The washers between different moving parts are extremely difficult to install without a washer wrench. I might need to buy one. At a price of time, I got all the linkage installed, also drilled the 3/16 hole on removable passenger stick per Van's service bulletin to secure the stick. The link between the two sticks needs some fine adjustment, but I will do it later during final installation. I am good for now.



Passenger removable stick is marked for dirlling bolt hole to secure the stick per Van's instruction (on Van's website)

Link between the two sticks are assembled. The length is set per plan. But I found I had to reduce the length a lot to make the two sticks parallel


Control colume is installed
