I finished making my "No Slot" flaperon mod today. I used 3/32 4130 for the flat pieces and nesting 4130 tubing. It was a fun little project.

Ok Thanks, I'll check them out.
I ordered it from VXB bearing company (vxb.com) and it was item KIT8997. Hope that helps.
One more thing , What kind of bearing did you use. I found some stamped metal ones at aircraft spruce . Really Cheap. And some cast iron ones on Amazon. Not as cheap but with sealed bearings instead of nylon. ??
That's what I was looking for. Thanks
Check out this link for construction details and history.....

I know this has been asked before. Are there any plans out there to do this mod?. Not sure who started it.
