Hello Everyone.  I am in process of installing my flaps in

anticipation of flying the 10 REALLY soon.  I purchased the QB wings

and the hinge brackets were of course installed.  The holes in the

flap brackets are larger than an AN$ bolt which tells me that there

is supposed to be a bearing inserted in them.



I cannot however locate any bearings or bushing on the parts list or

reference to them in the Manual.  Can someone tell me if they are

supposed to come installed in the brackets (perhaps they forgot to

install them) or a part no so that I can call Van and ask for them.



The Van guys are traveling and Bruce (at Vans) was unable to help.  I

am so close that I can taste the first flight and don't want to wait

a couple of more days for the guys at Van to return.



Thanks.

Yep, the brackets get bushings.  You'll need to carefully use a reamer

on those hole so they are nice and snug when you press them in.  They

should be in some parts bag.  The plans show them, so check the

list against the part number.  FYI: You can't have the bushings

installed until the bottom skins go on, or the skin won't fit over

the brackets.

Thanks for the quick reply. What kind of bushing are they?  Bronze? 

Brass? aluminum?  Do they need to be fabricated by me?

I have checked the plans and cannot find ANY references (in

related/logical sections) to the part and installation instruction. 

Can you point me to the right place in the manual?

My bottom skin is installed and as I said, I am assembling the plane

for it's first flight.

Thanks again.

I think the're Bronze, and they aren't fabricated, but they

come complete.



I see them on page 22-8, BUSHING 1/4x3/8x.250.

Rob,



They are or at least they look like bronze. You should have 6 of them somewhere with your kit. They look like little bronze donuts. I used sandpaper on a drill bit and lapped the hinge bracket just a little. I used a C-Clamp and two pieces of wood to press them into the bracket, once the one dise was fluch I used a socket on one side to allow the bushing to get to it's final position, they are wider than the hinge bracket and center on the hole with equal reveal on each side.

Thank you all for your response.  I found the reference to these

bushings on a revision sheet.
