Rudder Pins and bushings

Re: Rudder Pins and bushings

Why do you suppose the Univair pins would cost three times as much as those from Wag or Aircraft Spruce?

Because it is harder to make the pins with the 1/16" knurling. Though their tail surface pins are also more expensive.

Everything is more expensive from univair for a taylorcraft, gear legs were $1500 when a pacer leg was 500.....I don't think they sell many at that price...

Re: Rudder Pins and bushings

The pacer legs don't fit (at least the left one doesn't)

Re: Rudder Pins and bushings

its a comparison of design vs cost...taylorcraft= getting screwed/piper=affordable

Re: Rudder Pins and bushings

The guy I spoke to who started making the tail pins after I spoke to him about the lack of knurled pins, moved-on from Wag a couple of years ago. I spoke to his assistant a couple of years ago about making the aileron pins but never received a call back. I have been remiss in calling back to see if they can make them. Apparently I need to do so and see what they can do.

Re: Rudder Pins and bushings

I would be willing to buy a batch of pins if I could get a bulk price, but someone will have to come up with a very specific criteria and specification for the pins. IE plating, heat treat, tolerances etc. Tim
