> The pins I'm talking about are the ones that go through the top of the
tailplanes, through the torque tube and out the other side. Maybe my
terminology is not correct, but the pins I have (and one of which is broken)
have a ring at the top which pulls on a spring loaded rod than runs up the
centre of the pin, and when either pulled or pushed it allows a couple of
little ball bearings at the pin's tip to retract so that you can then pull
the pin out/push it in. I thought that was a pip pin - I've not heard of a
'permament pin'. Can you tell me more?

> By 'upgrading' I mean the process by which some people have changed these
1/4" pins to 5/16" pins and reamed out the holes accordingly - 'oversizing'
you call it.
>
> Also I do understand about the fact that these pins are only intended to
ensure that the tailplanes don't slide off - and that they shouldn't carry
torque as that may dislodge the bush embedded in the tailplanes. Elongating
the holes (circumferentially - not spanwise) in the torque tube helps in
this respect. I understand that torque is only supposed to be transmitted
via the drive pins and plate at the root end of the tailplanes.

what a great forum this is.
