| Subject: | Vi Kapler hinge re-bushing |
| From: | "taildrags" <taildrags(at)hotmail.com> |
Hello, Pieters-
Among the tools and parts that I got from Vi Kapler when I purchased the rights
and the "tooling" for the cast hinges was a jig and instructions from Vi on re-bushing
the pivot pin holes in the hinge castings. According to the instructions
that he wrote (by hand, all of them), Vi says that when a set of hinges
has 750-1000 hours on them some play may develop due to wear. The fix is to re-bush
the pivot pin holes with brass sleeve inserts.
If there are any Piets out there that have noticeable play in their Kapler hinges
and have flying hours up in the range that Vi mentions, I would be happy to
re-bush your set of 9 pairs of hinges for $20 plus return postage, which is $6
in the small USPS prepaid box. For overseas, I'll have to check with the USPS
to see what it might cost to ship them back to you. Of course you'll have
to remove your tail surfaces to remove the hinges, and if you've covered over
them with fabric, you'll have to use an XActo knife to cut away the fabric to
get to them. This operation is something that is best done during winter when
you're not flying or when you have the airplane down for annual condition inspection.
I am no longer on the Matronics list and only check the forum periodically, so
if you are interested in having your hinges re-bushed, contact me directly at
taildrags(at)hotmail.com or I likely won't see your response.

Jeff,
I will be using an A-65, just overhauled and hopefully putting out the full 6
5 hp. Unfortunately, I have not been trying to be too "light weight" minded.
I may come in on the heavy side. It is built to plans, save for a few thing
s like the rudder horns, tail wheel and extra blocks here and there. Not sur
e it it's G loading could be any greater than the Aircamper with only on per
son up. It is the same wing, shorter fuselage, same tail, motor mount, etc. I
have been told it performs better because it is lighter, but I don't know i
f that will be true. I'm sure it will perform better than my Aeronca in cli
mb, but maybe not speed. But I think it will be a blast...just like your!
I will attach some pictures, maybe too large...

ut weigh less, how many Gs can it take?
