i've clipped a section from the assembly manual for discussion. I've been scratching my head over the aileron hinge ever since the first time I put one together. The manual says that the aileron should pivot around a stationary B3 bushing, clamped to the wing bracket by the bolt and castle nut. The rotation then is on the outside of the bearing surface.
Would this not mean that the aluminum hole in the aileron would wear over time? or does the nylon material just wear away first? It would seem to me to be better, if the bolt was fastened to the aileron bracket by a tab, which would mean the bolt would rotate inside the bushing - the bushing being fastened to the bracket on the wing with epoxy.
this is a culmination of two things people said. Bill Reed put the bug in my ear when he said "the problem is not with the bushing, its with the hole on the aileron horn enlarging" and Paul Grandall said "I attach my bushings with epoxy".
what do you guys do? especially you rebuild nazi's out there like me
