Jim Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 I was out doing some owner PM this afternoon and noticed the right side drip tray cable tie was gone and one of the support wings was broken off. This is the second time this has happened. 360 hours on the engine. The left side broke at about 280 hours. Any suggestions other than check the cable ties every few hours?
Jim Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks Roger, I'll do it and get my A&P to sign it off.
Runtoeat Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Roger, the LOA shows rubber washers are used. Do you use rubber or just use the steel washers?
Runtoeat Posted September 9, 2012 Report Posted September 9, 2012 Hi Roger. I'm on the same page as you when it comes to rubber washers. I'll stick with adding more support area by just using steel washers but will round out any sharp edges that create stress points. Thanks!
Doug G. Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 What??? You are using an unapproved mod Roger? How can this be? :-)
Doug G. Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Sorry, Roger it was meant as a light hearted jab. It seems though that there is something I do not understand here. You can do the mods and after apply for an LOA? (Or has your SW been moved to ELSA?) How does this process work?
Doug G. Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah, in the full version but most of the time I am using my Android tablet, and I only have the traditional emoticons available. Thanks for the info. I wonder though what keeps things from basically being experimental -- do it first, then see if you can get it okayed?
