    Default Flaperon support Inboard end - Mk3 Kitfox

    Hi from the UK,
    I have a question.
    The two pieces of nylon? each side which support the inboard end of the flaperon pivot (one half in the turtle deck and one on the main fuselage).
    I have to replace them for my next inspection as they are cracked.
    Are they bought items or are they made to a drawing/pattern?
    I've looked in the parts catalogue but can't find them.
    If they are made parts, is there a drawing anyone can send to me (please )

    Just call Kitfox, they have them. I just bought some myself. They come in two halves that you need to cut down to the proper total width.

    The material is 1/4" UHMW.

    Mine are way thinner than 1/4" probably 1/8"
    They may have been incorrect from the start, or they may have been thickened up by Kitfox over the years I guess.

    Mine are riveted in place, at 1/4" would bolting be better?

    Forget what I said. I misunderstood the bearings you were talking about. The model 7 I built does not use those pieces.
