Default Aileron link hits Elevator link

I notice when I move the Aileron control to the right the ball link hits the ball link for the elevator (see picture below). Do you folks have this problem? What did you do to fix it? Should I limit the throw or move the Aileron link to the other side of the leverl? Thanks.

I noticed that, too. But it only happens at full negative pitch with full elevator and full aileron. I've flown the copter pretty hard and so far it hasn't been a problem. I've seen pics of some kits that have a longer elevator lever. I couldn't figure what the change was for, but now I think it must've been to help prevent this problem.

But FWIW, it looks as if the newer kits with purple links have the longer lever and mine is an older kit with the shorter lever. If it doesn't cause a problem for me, I doubt it'll be one on the newer version.

I could make it a non-issue if I move the ball link on the lever to the other side. What do you think ... is this a good idea?

I think it will hit the canopy if you do that. Besides, I think it's pretty much a non-issue, anyway.
