Hey all,
A local 2nd owner is redoing his spar box because the original builder botched it - snowman holes in the most important bolted joint on the airplane! My bushings have been in circulation for a few years and done a few airplanes. These were a couple of 3/8" pins with a 1/4" hole in the middle used to pin the wings together.


Here they are in action:




Anybody know who has them? I'm going to look in the forum but maybe the person who has custody will read this.

If you can't find it, I have one I'm not using right now. But I'll need it back in a month or two.

Many thanks - I think I found the guy who last had them. A Sonex/Corvair builder in Michigan who sold his project. He used to be the chapter of EAA 113. I emailed him using his old contact info as well as the current chapter president. Hopefully we can dig those up!

Joe had them - they are found. Ryan will have them next, then they can be available for whoever. Joe is also throwing some reamers into the kit.

I still have a little bit to go before rigging my wings. I belive the tools should be the same for the B model....so I would certainly appreciate the ability to use them when the time comes if possible.

I thought the B model used a 1/2 bolt. A model is 3/8". If I'm wrong would be glad to get them to you.

I went and checked an you are correct. The b-model is 1/2", but they use the same 1/4" pilot. When I get there I will figure out how to do it. I haven't studied it too much yet.....and to be honest I'm procrastinating doing it as long as I can.
