Maule yoke tube thickness
Hello! Rebuilding some yokes for my M5. Anyone know off the top of their head the thickness to the yoke tubes? I found .065 to be too thick. .05 perhaps? Even thinner? Also, I found the stock tube lengths to be longer than my liking, Can anyone see a downside With shortening them up ~2�
Cheers!
Cheers!

Don’t know the thickness.
On the shortening question:
Aside from possibly not getting enough throw to achieve full elevator travel, there is also the legal issue of deviating from the type design, which would require a field approval or STC, along with engineering data to support the change.
What do not like about the stock length?

Sounds like a setup issue. Did the full travel of the yoke hit the stops under the panel, both ways? Or is the stops being had by the rear (tail area - elevator control) instead? I would take a look at that before spending more time/money on touching the tubes/yoke. ref. the drwgs. from Maule on setup.
This maybe why your yoke is out too far. It may just be an adjustment issue. FWIW.

This maybe why your yoke is out too far. Maybe just an adjustment needed. FWIW.
