Subject: | Trim Tab drive pins |
Good morning all,
We installed the larger/stronger mod of the TP16P & TP16S drive pins
(which doesn't seem to be listed in the current mods list) per
instructions and with just a few on/off cycles of the horizontal
stabilizers, each has cracked where the 3 layers bid wrap 90deg around
the front.
This appears to be a result of the TS05 link rod cocking upon removal
and jamming the drive pins in the TS06 bushes (which are a lovely fit)
which results in a racking load jamming the drive pins.
Obviously we have to do this again (irritating as the originals
exhibited no such symptoms), but I must know if anyone else has
experienced this, and what the solution might be.
Stationing a second person at the tail to ensure the link rod does not
deviate from perpendicular to the drive pins while the tailplanes are
being pulled is obvious but a bit labor intensive.
Regards,
Creighton Smith A036

Sorry about your difficulties Creighton. I have the larger pins as Mod 58
but haven't
done the install yet as there has been no visible cracking on the original
pins. Somehow
Mod 58 disappeared from the Europa 2004 mod list. I wonder if they decided
it was
unnecessary or if was just an accidental deletion.

Creighton
Do you have a couple of pieces of plywood (or similar) inside the rear
of the fuse just ahead of the "T" bar slot to limit the sideways
movement of the "T" bar on assembly and disassembly of the tailplanes ?
The two guides should have minimum gap between them but still be wide
enough to allow full and free movement of the 'T' bar throughout full
deflection of the tailplanes.
I don't remember this ever being a mod but was certainly a recommended
suggestion. I'm sure it will save your having to employ a second person
as you suggested below.
Regards
Kingsley in Oz.
