• 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.

I'm assembling the torque tube to elevator linkages and want to see if anyone has experienced any bearing issues on the segment from the torque tube to the reverser. Is the lateral movement of the rod end bearings (I'm using Fafnir) enough to tolerate the rotation of the torque tube, or is there some mod I haven't found to protect from bearing failure here?

I haven't hooked up the ailerons yet, so I don't know how much ratation I need to expect or allow for.
