The Murphy Builders Site

Posted two pictures to area "103 - S/M-Rudder" showing rod end (Heim/Aurora)
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

I didn't use bushings but I know several builders who are now taking the
elevator off to create a bushing-attach approach. Folks are seeing wear

in

the elevator attach points (though I don't have any yet in 101+ hours, and
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

design

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
