    Subject: aileron bracket
    Questions on the 901010-501 and 902010-504 outboard aileron brackets. The company that was supplying them before was the same that was s upplying them to Tiger Aircraft. For reason the tooling was destroyed after Tiger ceased production. I drove to Wichita Kansas on the way to AYA Oshko sh=2C to look over the remaining tooling and with the hopes that the toolin g was still there. They still had some tooling=2C but nothing to make the a ileron bracket. Then I went to another company in Wichita. They showed me q uite a bit of Tiger tooling=2C but no joy. They did ask me if I was interes ted in paying the storage for the tools. The first company said they could remake the tool. After several months they gave me a quote for the tooling and a minimum run that send me into depression. I had a company that was local (within 200 miles) that is already one of my approved suppliers. They said they could build the tool for a re asonable price. I paid for the tooling cost and had them do a minimum run o f the supports. I didn't want to invest too much if it wasn't going to work out. I had problems with a supplier in Houston in the supports and didn't want to duplicate the same problem. So I received the supports and they were spot on. I left the mount ing holes out because they can be matched drilled to the spar and because I can according to the process specs. The 902010-501 was the original design. The -504 was the later des ign that had the collar staked into the inboard side of the support as to n ot be knocked out by the aileron torque tube. The -504 is the better design and is safer. The only problem with the -504 is that sometimes there is no t quite enough room between the support and the aileron=2C even with out th e spacers. The 901010-901 is the same as the 902010-504 but without the mou nting holes. So if there is there is not enough room for the -504=2C then t he holes can be located in the -901 where it will fit the assembly. I have a couple left from the first production run and have another 50 on order. I apologize for not keeping everybody in the loop=2C but in this bu siness=2C disappointments come more frequently than good news. But this is good news. Good news is that they are now available and at a lesser cost th an before even with the tooling cost amortized in. Garner
