Re: Installing Bearings in Composite Arf Phenolic Hinges (Rudder/Elevator Hinges)...
We have used the Mc-master bushings with stainless tubes for years and hundreds of flights with zero signs of wear. They lock in place and provide the best hinge on any rc plane but you must drill the holes correctly so the pin will line up. A very long drill bit works good but a step drill would be better if the original holes are straight and they probably won't be. Be sure to use the wider bushings where the horns are doubled up from the factory (some have them that way and some don't).
