Default Worn Cobra rear-door hinges (both pin and hole)

I have a 2002 Cobra and the pins had worn through the sidewall of the
trailer before I had a chance to sleeve it. I will be forced to add
some sort of reinforcing plate to the trailer with the bush mounted to
that...
Not the best design for sure and I hope by now they will have fixed
it.

You should fly more and drive less :-).


8000 XC miles and 150 hours on my Antares this season.
Might even take it out tomorrow; amazingly Dr. Jack
says we'll have a wee bit of lift.

Hi Bob - You flying Sunday ? Dr. Jack says lift !
I may fly the Antares out of Fitchburg as its close
from my house and no one will be flying at Sterling.
Unlikely I'll make it up to Sugarbush with the short day.

Are your hinge pins worn as well as the channel ?

Best Regards, Dave "YO electric"
