What are you comp-arf guys using for after market hinge pins on your planes. I'm looking for something with and OD of 0.156" or 5/32. The pocket hinges in the Sukhoi are showing some signs of wear and I'd like to fix it up in a few weeks before it gets to bad.

Cheers

I drilled them out from day one as some of them rattled and a little hard on the carbon. You wont believe how much quieter it goes! You may struggle to get a long enough tube for the ail, unless ya can get new carbon one. You can also rebush and put the tube in backwards so that the bearing surface is at a diff location.
