Hi greylingrdid you ever run this setup by Vans? and what did they have to say?
If you're blocking images from a different domain, you'll block every single picture posted on this forum. Every picture comes from somewhere else like ImageShack, vansairforce.net (instead of .com), or other sites.AltonD said:Sorry for the intrusion. If you are using Norton internet security, you might not see Roberta's picture. There is a setting to block images that are coming from a different domain than the page being viewed. This is how NIS blocks web ads. This option can be turned off.

I'm using the 1/2" Delrin aileron stops, and I did measure the deflections when I build my wings - it came out exactly per Van's specs.Captain_John said:Got the stuff at Lowes. It's a buck. It comes predrilled and that is a good thing for easy centering.
It comes 1.2" OD x .194" ID and 1" Long.
I had to step the ID up to 21/64" in order to accomodate the aluminum tube spacer inside of the stuff.
Question...
Has anyone ever MEASURED the deflection and ascertained that the 1/2" OD falls within Vans specs?
I haven't gotten to the point of rigging yet, but just throwing the question out there.
Mickey, is that why you bought all those different sized rods? How did it all calculate out?
