    Question Torque Tube Mast Pictures

    I am curious how the torque tube is attached to the control stick via the CNC'd mast (for any of the models).

    I believe it is a CNC'd part that is pop-riveted to the torque tube, but have never actually seen this detail. Could anyone post some detailed photos of this area for a curious mind? Thank you!

    Rivets and Loctite unless the procedure has changed since I put mine together.

    Dave,

    CC just significantly changed the attachment on the EX3 with another circumferential row of rivets (plus the special Loctite). These are not just "pop" rivets but Cherry pull rivets.

    This is for both front and back stick stubs.
