JJ -

My fault, I wasn't clear enough - I meant the _other_ "lift-pins". My
spar pins are exactly as you describe: Kept in a set of PVC tubes with
well-greased felt inside so that they "self lubricate" every time I
pull them out or put them back in the holders.

I was referring to the alignment pins on each side of the fuselage
that plug into the root rib sockets and ensure the wing is at its
proper angle of incidence relative to the fuselage. They're a lot
smaller and I don't think I want "variable incidence" wings as I fly
around... ;-)

Thanks,
