• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hello!
Some of the RE3H5 (or REP3H5) rodend bearings for the ailerons on my Skybolt/Firebolt 540 have started to develop a bit of play. How many hours do you usually get out of these bearings? And where is a good place to buy them?
From a quick search I found $77.95 for REP3H5 at Steen, $79.75 for REP3H5 at Spruce, and $55.50 for RE3H5 at Wagaero. I suspect that the latter has the older style seal (without the "P"). Any comment much appreciated!
Thank you!
