Finalyy finished the torque tube and I installed the fanfir bearing. Came out pretty good I must add. Here is my question, I have it mounted in the fuselage and the stick is real smooth forward and aft. Also it is real smooth in the mounting collars. I need to know about how much pressure should I need to operate the torgue tube in the side to side motion. Although it is smooth it does take some pressure. I am thinking I need some bigger spacing washers on the split collars. Also how much pressure should it take to move forward and aft.
