Hello!
Some of the RE3H5 (or REP3H5) rodend bearings for the ailerons on my Skybolt/Firebolt 540 have started to develop a bit of play. How many hours do you usually get out of these bearings? And where is a good place to buy them?
From a quick search I found $77.95 for REP3H5 at Steen, $79.75 for REP3H5 at Spruce, and $55.50 for RE3H5 at Wagaero. I suspect that the latter has the older style seal (without the "P"). Any comment much appreciated!
Thank you!
