I've done due dilligence and searched the old forums, and can't find the following:
No matter how careful I was disassembling NC55100, '46 J3, I can't remember if the 15 inch stick is in the back yoke, or the front. Since nothing on this cub was done right since it left the factory, I can't even assume that having a 13 inch stick and a 15 inch stick is even correct. So, first, are the front and back control sticks different lengths? If so which one goes in front and which in back? I don't have the tank installed yet, and it looks like either stick could go either place. The length I'm talking about is the stick length as removed from the Yoke piece as you might do to keep a passenger from grabbing the stick. So, it is the top stick, not the pivoting part in the yoke.
The Piper parts manual says nothing about two different part numbers for the sticks, so I'm thinking maybe a long stick got put in for reasons I wouldn't understand...maybe more leverage when this airplane was a crop duster?
Info soon would be appreciated.
