• 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 need to extend the range of my aileron push tube end bearing about 1/4" or so to get the ailerons level and have enough thread left into the rod end. Is there an adaptor or extension of some sort like an AN490 threaded rod end, except I need internal female 5/16-24 and external male 15/16-24 for the heim bearing. Unfortunately, my control rod was made as one long piece and only the stick end has any adjustment.
At this point, I do not want to make a new rod. It has been flying without enough thread in the bearing for 1000 hrs, before I found it!

Thanks,
larry
