Teflon support for flaperons.
I try to explain,
Where the axis of the flaperons is going throught the removable hard top before a 90° turn there is a white piece in Teflon, i think, on what the flaperon axis can rotate without frictions.
This part of Teflon is fixed to the airframe at a gusset plate with rivets.
My two pieces broked due to years and efforts.
So i want to make these pieces in a teflon plate but hard to find...
Has anybody knows where i can find this ?
I found a lot of foot pads for furnitures, or Teflon in rolls too thin.
Thanks

Re: Teflon support for flaperons.
Some house hold kitchen cutting boards are made out of what I believe is the same teflon material. You may not find the same thickness, but I know I've seen them around 1/4 inch thick which would work with longer connectors/rivets.

I've just replaced mine with the material supplied by Kitfox. It was a piece of 1/4 teflon. I agree with Geowitz a piece teflon kitchen cutting board would work even if it was a little thicker. Shouldn't be hard to fine a kitchen store in France !

Perhaps in Ikéa ?

There is a similar material called Delrin. Not sure which is used on the Kitfox.
