The hinges for the Super Bandit are machined from carbon fiber plate stock.
I suppose Patty would sell them to you, but I can't quote the cost. .Call her at 407-327-6333.
You would need 12 pair (24 pieces).
A set of plans and the instruction manual would prove to be helpful.`
It would be VERY difficult to install them properly without the full size drawing and the assembly manual. You will also need about 3 pieces of 1/16 piano wire for the hinge pins, and a length of Nyrod inner (yellow) for the bearings.
The attached photo shows a "ship set" (aerospace term for one airframe's worth) of them.
As you can see, I have used some of them for other jobs.
