Hi rpm oil starvation

Excellent find! Just a quick glance on my iPad it looks like it might be perfect. Extruded aluminum hinge. Genius!

Sometimes little pieces like that can be tedious to machine and set-back product completion. I will take a detailed look again tomorrow and maybe order a foot to get into CAD and try and work with.

Thanks!

Just a little heads up on the aircraft hinge. Those are usually a tight fitting hinge so they wont easily flap around to well just from gravity alone. You could remove the hinge pin and turn the pin down if you need more clearance. Chuck the pin in a drill and take some material off with sand paper and scotch pads.
