*On July 14, 2008 Paul of Aerosiam wrote the following:*
*
*
*The flap motor operates a vertical screw shaft which rotates in a nylon
bushing riveted to the flap actuating arm. It is accessible after removing
the white cover behind the pilot's seat. *
* The screw shaft should be lubricated with lithium grease, I believe.
If a 3 in 1 type oil is applied to the metal screw shaft, it causes the
nylon bushing to expand. Over time, flap movement slows and the flap
breaker starts popping due to the excess load. The cure is to tap out the
nylon bushing until the screw shaft moves freely inside it.
Turning the vertical drive shaft of my plane in de nylon bushing is
difficult to be done by hand because of too much friction. To cure this
problem, Paul advises to tap out the nylon bushing. But then my question
is: which size of thread is in the bushing?*
*
*
*My second question is: is a replacement set of shaft and bushing still
available for the Allegro 2000?*

*Thank you for your comments.*
