Justin Hawkins Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Yet another question - I've got a lot of play in the aileron and flap tubes where they pass through the brackets that bolt to the trailing edge of the wing. Had anyone replaced these bushing before ? If so, is there a source (preferably in the US) for new ones ? I emailed Wayne Fisher, haven't heard back just yet. I'm sure they're a standard size. I could probably find some if I knew the ID / OD needed. Thanks again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hawkins Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 FYI, I never did find a source for the bushings. Even Wayne Fisher didn't know where to look. So I bought a lathe and made some. So in the future, I can supply PTFE or delrin aileron and flap bushings for the flap equipt drifter, if anyone needs them made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hawkins Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I should be able to do those. The materials will be about $25 I think. Shipping from the US shouldn't be to much. Send me your address via PM and I'll get some off to you. Once you get them and you're happy, you can paypal whatever you think they're worth (maybe around $3 each plus shipping) It might take me a week or so to get materials and get em made. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hawkins Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Guys, So sorry for the late reply. I dropped off the face of the earth. I've got some brass rod stock, and I'll try to get a few sets of bushes made based on the drawing above. I'll post here when they're done, then you can message me a shipping address. Again, sorry for the long delay. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
