bearings used by a friend on his Harmon Rocket. Might be able to accomplish
a similar installation on the Moose/Super Rebel/Rebel rudder.
Parts can be had from Aircraft Spruce (search on "bearing" and you'll get a
whole page of options).
Also RBC Aerospace Bearings (phone: 866-722-2376) out of Washington has the
same parts, albeit less expensive, than Aircraft Spruce. Website:
http://rbcbearings.com/bbre-aerospace/index.htm
Part # is MS21151 for external thread version & part # MS21153 for internal
thread version.

Thanks, Ted. Just googled Heim (Aurora). Would you be able to upload your
pictures?
Thanks,
Fred

didn't see any after 240+ hours in my previous Moose either).
I don't know of anyone that I can think of off-hand that is putting
bushings
in the rudder attach points. I did see an interesting rudder attach
in a Harmon Rocket last weekend. That design used Heim (Aurora) rod-end
bearings as part of the rudder assembly. I have pictures if anyone wants
to
see them.

Hi Guys,
I'm at the point where I want to install bushings in the
elevator/stabilizer
hinges before I close up the elevator. I think I also want to do this for
the rudder.
How have you guys done this? What size ( OD and thickness) bushing have
you
used and how are they arranged?
I searched the archives but didn't get a hit.
Thanks,
Fred
