Brian, Dave, help!

I can't seem to get this adjusted. If I leave the nuts slightly loose
there is zero friction in the aileron action.
If I tighten either the front or rear ball joint
nuts noticeable  friction is added to the control.

If this is described in the plans what page number?

BTW I changed Mike's bracket as I did not feel safe
with just a non locking jam nut on there with no
threads showing.

Well, i can't quite understand the situation from the pictures, but I
can say this, there should be no friction in the system from any of
those brackets, and the nuts should be secure.  Maybe missing a washer
or two?  It should be in the plans, though very occasionally you must do
things different than called out in the plans.
