Clevises - What type is used in VMAR ARF products?

Question: What type of clevis do you use in VMAR ARF products?

Answer: We have used a number of different clevises.

  • a) A third party USA made clevis was used in 2000 and/or 2001
  • b) A plastic clevis with metal pin was used in 2002
  • c) A plastic clevis with screw pin was used in 2003
  • d) A third party metal clevis with metal pin was used in 2004
  • e) Our own CNC produced metal clevis with screw pin was introduced in mid 2004. This high quality solid metal CNC clevis is now standard in all production and used exclusively except for special applications requiring a plastic clevis. The CNC clevis is compatible with our own 2mm threaded studs and other precision 2mm threaded rods. In addition to superceding earlier clevises, the CNC metal clevis is also being used in most applications formerly requiring an EZ connector.
  • f) In early 2005, a new lightweight CNC metal clevis was developed and introduced into production for the L19 Bird Dog and other VMAR electric ARFS.
