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.

Have not seen drawings or pics, but where two bearings are used on a single bolt, check that a spacer goes between them.
