Hello,



Could someone tell me the material that the control stick bearing blocks are made from. There is a similar piece of material on the mono wheel for the gear retract lever.  

 I thought this called Tufnol, but when I searched McMaster Carr I could not find it.

Thanks and regards, Paul

Paul,

     

     McMaster calls it "phenolic" and "Garolite".

     Don't know the specific quality the bearings are made of.

     

     Regards,

     Jan

Paul,Look for "phenolic sheet". Available from a lot of us sources dealing with plastics. Also Aircraft Spruce and McMaster Carr sells it in smaller quantities. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Paul

it is Tufnol, laminated with linen cloth and phenolic resin. There are similar boards using paper instead of cloth. Not as good.
