Missing template for flaperon horn bearing kf5

[gizmos]

I am missing template for kf5 nylon flaperon horn bearing. Does anyone have it or a location to find it? P/n 24004.000 bearing material

I built a Series 5 and that nylon bearing for the flaperon was deemed not necessary some time ago. I did not use it on mine and after 10 years and 600 hours no ill effects. Bruce Lina N199CL

Great! I have tried to read as much as i can on the vixen. Is there any other things I should look for? I am going to put the kf7 firewall forward with the rotax 912, possible fuel injection. I bought the alum header tank, slosh my tanks,added electric rudder trim, and put bigger elevator . I have finished my wings and tail section. What did you do for elevator trim(speed) and indicator?

[airlina]

For elevator trim speed (which in its standard configuration can be too fast and touchy) I added a resistor and a fast slow switch to control the speed depending on aircraft speed or configuration. this is one way to do it, although I believe John Mcbean offers a more sophisticated version that will is speed controlled and automatic. (Check the Kitfox parts catalog) . My indicator is the stock version supplied with the kit and has worked fine for me . Bruce Lina N199CL

Interesting I didn't know this ... I built mine with the nylon piece, it would be
simple to make lacking the template just by the good old fashion: Eyeball, trim, try, repeat method.

In any case templates are not always perfect, since all the planes are built with
some variance anyway. You would need to trim and fit anyway.
