Hi Louie
Thank you for the details.
Have you tried exporting the drawing to a .png? I find that png's do not
have the noise that creeps into jpg's at the sharp, black-white boundaries
in drawings and text. If you could email me a copy of your image, I'd
appreciate it. Another alternative to jpg's is a pdf. The Windows freebie
pdf creator from SourceForge is invaluable to me. I'm sure that there are
Linux equivalents.
'Glad to hear that the SS rivets are proving useful. I used a bunch of them
on my garage door and they have been perfect. If and when I get the invoice
from Lehigh-Armstrong, I'll work out the cost split and let you know. I
called L-H Friday, but it was late and I just got their voice mail.
Thanks for the great idea on improving the aileron bellcrank.
Terry

Hi group,
I mentionned about the rudder upper bearing (hinge) becoming loose with time.
I already replaced it once. It appears somewhat loose again. Did anyone invent
a fix for this?

How about that bearing that was discussed a few days ago? It was meant for
the aileron bell crank, but maybe it could be used on the rudder...?
Salut bien
Carlos
