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..
