bmckinney10 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I removed the ailerons to check the balance due to the previous owner having painted the VariEze. 3 of the 4 hinge pins had the teflon sleeve enhancement where the standard pin was replaced with a thinner pin and a teflon sleeve. The sleeve would not slide out, so I had to use a razor and cut it at each junction of the hinge halves. Anyone have a source for the sleeve material when I reinstall?

Kent Ashton Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I bought some from McMaster-Carr. Teflon 0.125 OD, a wall thickness of 0.010, an ID of 0.105, and uses a 0.094 302 SS welding rod pin. BTW, I found the specs here: "Resource Guide for Non-builder owners of canard aircraft" For some reason I could not get the PDF version to load but there is a .doc version http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t5QAecs7HRgJ:v2.ez.org/Appendix%20A-Guide.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us Quote -KentCozy IV N13AM-750 hrs, Long-EZ-85 hrs and sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
