Control stick taper pins

Wondering if someone can tell me why the Sonex B uses taper pins in the control stick attachment rather than a thru bolt.

Hey TS,

Welcome to the forum. A tube bolt connection, like in my classic A model Waiex, will always have or develop a little slop. The taper pins really make for a snug fit and eliminate that. I have taper pins in my mixer per the plans.

Welcome! feel free to ask about things, as there a lot of nice folks here that most likely can help!
