In the process of inspection and discovery of components on my third hand Kitfox I found a control rod touching a airframe tube during it's travel. I see no obvious adjustment to remedy however I did think of removing the rod and putting a slight bend in the tube. The tube in question is one of the front pushrods that activated the elevator. In the last part of it's travel it is hitting a V shaped weldment that holds the center seat belt brackets.

Any advice?

Thanks much,

Skot
