Does anyone have any play in the aileron bell crank on there eagle? I get a little movement where the bolt comes down through the pivot point of the bell crank. A little more on the right than the left. The bolt itself isn't moving, more like the bearings are a bit worn? I'm not sure how tight this fits when first installed. All the rod ends are in good shape and I can see exactly where the movement is coming from. Would have been a lot easier to check this out when the wings were opened up. Any thoughts?
