Any recommendations or vendors who stock them in North America?

I bought a bag of 50 from Walmart for around $9.00.Â* I use them on the
l'Hotlier connectors for the ailerons in my Stemme and for my seat track stops in my Cessna.Â* My IA approved their use. On 1/14/2019 4:03 PM, George Haeh wrote: Any recommendations or vendors who stock them in North America? -- Dan, 5J |

This was a couple of years ago.Â* I measured one of the pins that came
with my ship and looked for that specific size.Â* Here's an example: https://www.walmart.com/ip/1-5mm-x-3...-Pcs/168313573 Be sure to get the size you need.

Buy 'em from Schempp Hirth dealer. All other solutions are inferior. T8 |

A fellow club member bought an ASW-19 equipped with them and I think they're brilliant. My ASW-15 came over from Germany in the late 90's with AN safety pins tethered to the control rods. You can get them from Aircraft Spruce. They work and because the 15's connections are right near the hatch and easy to access and see, I haven't bothered changing them for something easier. |

T8 is correct. Fit correctly and easy to use.

I think I had those on my '19 and they could be locked in the blind.
The Walmart pins were cheap, about $0.16 each, do the job, and in two years not one has come out in service.Â* They're attached to the aileron control rod by a length of waxed string.Â* YMMV.Â* Of course the Stemme clips are visible during installation, no reaching through a hole to install them.Â* I use a hemostat as a tool to help my clumsy fingers get the pin installed.

The clips I use are stainless steel and the correct size to fit the
hole.Â* Didn't someone else just suggest simply slipping a length of wire through the hole and twisting it?Â* I suppose I could have spent 25 times as much for a simple pin but I have to save my money to purchase real estate. BTW, would thatÂ* ocean front property that you're offering be anywhere near Reno?Â* Looks like CA is getting ready to slide into the sea...
