If you mean that you put the "self lubricated" pins stright into the
spars I think that's a really bad idea!


You know, I don't think I will take the time to share a few things I
have picked up over the last 35 years of repairing these glass toys.
Ras has a wide range of posters, some have vast experience and
knowledge, others share their ignorance, suspicions, rumors and
incredible lack of common sense. We have posters that think knocking
the rust off lift fittings will somehow change the wing incidence or
make the wings loose! Another thinks storing the main wing pins in a
greased holder will somehow gouge the pins when the greased holder
protects them from just that.
So long,
