CT4ME Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've had a couple of instances of the problem Roger Lee mentioned in another post, where the bearing(?) gets loose and allows the aileron/flap to slide side-to-side. In fact, we fixed them during the last 100-hour check. It's important that you check for this condition as, in the most extreme cases, it could allow your flap or aileron to move enough that it could hang-up on other structure parts. Now, after about 90 hours, the odd bolt/nut that acts as the pivot point for the aileron has moved to the point that it could interfere with the action of the flaps. I'm talking about the bolt/nut that has a very large, thin head. Here's what it looks like normally: So here's the "bad bolt".... it's not quite touching the flap arm... about the thickness of paper apart.... another view: Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
