Jack,

Something I forgot to mention, a little while ago we received by mistake a set 
of aileron bearing blocks from Lancair. Thinking these would be nice to 
replace the 10 years old bearings on the wing kit which I've been building 
here I thought to use them, however on inspection I found that the balls were 
literally all but 'frozen' in their housings. Maybe you have a set of these 
alieron bearing blocks on your aeroplane? On inspection the bearing had been 
inserted ...more correctly.. FORCED...into it's hole in the S/S bearing block 
at an angle squeezing the bearing housing to close on the ball..  Defective 
parts..JUNK.

Likewise with a new set of flap tracks which we ordered, they'd modified the 
flap track and the track slots were shorter with the result that the flaps 
were unable to travel their full forty degrees.  Seems that Lancair just ain't 
what it used to be.

Ciao,  

Roberto d'Italia.
