I moved this from my introduction thread.
I sent photos to David at Steen and he identified my wings as "Firebolt" type. I bought Firebolt plans that I received this week, however I am finding that my wings do not match many things on the prints. I need some help from eyes that have seen more of these than I have.
My first question:
My Firebolt prints show the aileron with 3 hinges.
My ailerons have only two hinges. Also my hinges are not made like the Firebolt print (detail 34-36) - they are made like the ones shown on the Steen website.
Question 1, part 2: Here is a photo of my aileron hinges: Can anyone tell me what bearings I need to replace these that are missing their centers? (Since the print shows them made differently, I have no reference to go by.)

My second question:
My flying wire attach points are not as drawn on the Firebolt prints.
Can anyone identify them?
