I helped install a set of teflon hinge pins on a 235 with slop in several
hinges. The owner supplied the material, so I don't know the specifics. The
installation was quick, and appeared to be tight, but didn't last over 50
hrs. It's a good quick fix but not a lasting one. Maybe on a new
installation it would work better ??
I've noticed that a particular hinge seems to get sloppy before any of the
others, like the left outboard elevator hinge. I replaced mine and noticed
the hum of a flutter disappeared. Anybody else have a similiar experience ??
I've seen some Lancairs at the Arlington Show with a LOT of control/hinge
"slop". At our speeds a bit of flutter is not to be taken lightly. Off the
Soap Box, and regards to all.. Don Skeele N320J a 235/320 with 600 hrs.
