Am I reading the drawing correctly? Where the aileron cables come into the bottom of the fuselage and connect underneath the rear stick, I have a shackle on each cable. The shackles "stack" together with the fitting from the stick interconnect in the middle. The problem is that now that I have a bolt going thru both shackles and fitting, it is so tight that the shackles won't even move. I would think the shackles are supposed to move up or down as needed. Have I got this wrong? I will send 2 pictures. I had to sharpen the end of the bolt to get it to go thru, now I will replace that bolt with a new one.
