We have been flying for 14 months and have done 240 hours. We trailer the 
aircraft for every flight in our own purpose built enclosed trailer.
To date we have not seen any wear on any of the pins.
It is interesting to note however that if you do not regularly grease the 
pins (every 30 hours or so), it gets progressively harder to push the wings 
home.
