Subject: Torque tubes

Based on an article by Ken Miller in CSA, I used taper pins in all my torque
tubes instead of bolts.  This virtually eliminates play in the system.  I
used AN386-1-10A taperpins using AN975-3 cone washers everywhere an AN3-X
bolt was called for.  The expensive item was the taper pin reamer.  This
requires about 12 sets of pins. Drill the holes a little undersized and ream
to fit with a #2 taper pin reamer.

I also used the AeroCad roller bearing kits.  The went in easily and the
system moves very easily.
