Phil when you got your plane was there extra's in the hardware pack??? I know when I assembled mine there were two sets of screws, one was aluminum and one was steel. I used the steel as per the manual. Mayby they changed since, I dunno.

I've actually located one extra bolt. There may have been others, but my shop is a wreck and I've not seen them so far. I'll check this one to make sure it's steel before installing it. Terry, do you think these bolts are something that would be available locally, or only from Herve'?

When I used to use those style linkages I always swapped out the mild steel for stainless. Used 3.5 inch socket cap hex bolts. I got them from RTL fastners. Lowes and Home depot have stainless fastners but I doubt they will have what your looking for in stock. I hear a lot of guys like Terry use McMaster Carr. One thing to look for is that the bolt has threads almost to the cap. The 3.5" 8-32 I get from RTL have the threads start 5/8 inch down from the cap. This allows for only threads to protrude through the control surface.

I just went to RTL and he no longer shows 8-32 ss socket caps 3.5" long

Only thing I found was steel 8-32 3inches long. It has been a long time since I have ordered obviously.
