=0ASubject: Re: Europa-List: Main wing bushings=0A=0A =0AWill, and others,
=0AThe play is because the black pins are undersized about .007 I think.
The main =0Apip pin is about .499 so only a tiny amount of play is availabl
e.=0ANormally, the oversized bushes allow what appears to be excessive pla
y when the =0Awings are not rigged. =0A=0A=0ANote: There is a good reason
for using the pip pin when doing spar alignment, =0Aespecially on the gli
der wing retrofit. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury =0Aof setting o
ur own bushes with the short wings. If we follow the instructions =0Ablin
dly and use just the bolts, you won't quite get perfect alignment. So jus
t =0Aheat the pin and help the bushes align.=0A =0APlease do not overheat
your existing wing pin and destroy the heat treating. =0AAt 6 Gs, you wou
ld not believe the shear load on that pin.=0A =0ASo don't rip everything ou
t just yet, try a bit of heat and patience. It's =0Aworth it.=0A =0ARegar
