Title: aileron pushrods
I've read tons of posts on Vans Airforce about how often the big pushrods end up too short if you cut them to the length on the print, so I looked at this pretty closely. The wings I have are from 2006, and the 15A print has a dimension of 65 25/32" I've got new preview plans in both paper and Electronic versions, so I looked at them just to confirm. The callout is fuzzy on both the paper copy and the electronic version, but it looks like 66 26/32. I get why they would bump this up if people were getting them too short, but an increase of exactly 1 1/32" seems like a strange number, so I asked on VAF and got a reply from someone who said their print had the old number, but they increased it by 3/8". This is a little strange. The title block shows 4 revisions to this print, the last one in 2003. None of the revision notes mention anything about changing this particular dimension. I'd like to get these made so that I can do a temporary install on the left wing and make sure I'm going to have clearance for my pitot tube install, but I'm going to investigate this a little further.
