Jack,
Your Teflon tubing bushing should be a good fix. It is how Piper
Cherokee aileron hinges were built at the factory, at least that was
the our old '76 model was built.

Bill,
The fuselage tube is not coated. I don't worry too much about electorlysis,
as the FireFly is always hangared. I do het the joints with a little spray
WD 40 a couple times a the year. I polish the tube tube one time a year. I
use automotive aluminum wheel polish on a folded paper towel followed by an
old soft cotton tee shirt. It looks better in the photo that it realy is.

Hi,
I always thought that the 40 stood for the fact that it was only good for 40
days.. . That couldn`t be right, could it?

"cristalclear13" asked: << What is a good product to lubricate the
aileron (flaperon) hinges? >>
Hi, Cristal -
You want to lubricate your aileron hinges with something that does NOT
trap dirt particles (like oil would). Oil in your hinges will entrap
dust and dirt grains, causing increased wear on your soft aluminum
hinges.
Best product I've seen or heard about is a molybdenum-based lubrication.
You find it at bicycle stores for lubricating brake and shifter cables.
It's a fine mineral powder in a liquid solution (it's mixed in with an
alcohol-like fluid). The liquid dries up soon after you apply it,
leaving behind only the lubricating powder.
I use it on all my hinges, as well as inside the throttle & choke
cables.

We got the corrosion cleaned up fairly easily....what wasn't easy was digging the
mouse nest out from the middle of the boom tube.
Does anyone put anything on the ends of their boom tubes to keep the critters out?
