The F-440 is the push rod that goes under the passenger's bum. How the **** do you get it in?
I have tried from both ends but the skins get in the way. The only way I can see to do it is to slot the 407 bulkhead which would reduce the strength little. Is this the solution? The plans do not mention it.
Also, I note some years ago there was a fatal when this rod fractured in a -4. Is there anything else I should know? VANS still indicate to build it from aluminum on my plans.
Thanks, Steve.
