As I said earlier, I've checked all the Quickies around this airport, including Farnams' and they all have a fair to good amount of play, depending on hours of usage. Has any one flown with the

Hi Bob. Since I am doing the ailerons I would be interested in the teflon version of the bushing. Where can I find them? Tks Raoul --- "Bob Farnam" <bfarnam@...> wrote: From: "Bob Farnam"

Earnest, Probably won't fail any faster than plain bronze, but the advantages of Oilite in continuous rotation won't show up in this application. In the continuous rotation application, Oilite can

Folks, a while ago there was discussion of a particular full swivel locking tail wheel available from ??? I thought I had stored the link but cannot find it. Would some one please send me the supplier

Jay, I think Bob will come up with the right answer with the knowledge from the business he is in, However, my two cents tells me I think you have a good idea, Just think of all the sealed auto/ etc.

Bob F, Thanks for your 2 cents. I have an additional question, since I have not yet installed my outboard bushings. Do you think it would be wise to go with a sealed bearing instead, or would that

Jim, thanks for bring that up .Steel on steel is no Bueno! An Amco 45 bushing would be better or St. Gobain makes some very unique and Low Friction co effeceint linear bearings/ bushings.

Damian, Aviation Products Inc. have the tailwheel assembly you request. I'm not sure which model is preferred. I don't think they have a web site. I just got a catalog from them by calling 805

A few points about bushings in general. The original bushings, at least in my airplane, are aluminum, running on a steel (AN3 or AN4) shaft. Aluminum on steel is a good bushing, as long as it's

Earnest, Are those bushings steel, aluminum or bronze,oilite? Do we use two differenet sizes on the elevator and aileron, I thought they were all the same size? Thanks again JP a while

Thanks, Did you have to drill out or cut down anything? JP a while

Thanks for the info Bob. Earnest

Jim, They are bronze. Seems like I did drill the receptacle for them but can't remember for sure. I checked the plans and you are correct they are all 1/4.. I looked for an invoice to double

Jim, Look on page 83. I think I used FB46-02 and FF303-01. It's been a while but I may have had to drill larger holes. Earnest

Earnest, I looked in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. Do you recall the model number of the bushing? JP A/S and pivot was steel.

Jim, When inspecting mine a couple years ago, I noticed that corrosion was a problem on some of them. It causes wear to increase, but in one case it caused the bushing to bind on the pivot pin causing

I have a Q2 I am parting out after a landing accident over a year ago that broke the canard and shortened the prop. Of special interest may be the set of QAC supplied carbon fiber spars I have that I
