Default Re: Installing Bearings in Composite Arf Phenolic Hinges (Rudder/Elevator Hinges)...

Paul.

That thread is is on this site but I cannot remember where. If you do a search for McMaster Carr I'm sure you will find it.

You drill the phenolics out with a step drill bit. Just twist it it in your fingers as the phenolic drills very easy.

You can fit ball bearings to the upper and lower rudder hinge and you use nylon panel bearings for everything else including elevators. Its a must do modification and makes a huge difference.
