The tube under the seat in my S1 that links to the ailerons (I'm sure it has a name) is the topic of today's question. In order to remove ALL play in the tube I have to crank the collars down to the point where the ailerons are very stiff. Is a slight amount of play OK in this tube? I mean a very slight amount, like I have to pull really hard to move it an iota.

Thanks.

Doug
