    Subject: pitot/static connectors
    Since building my plane I have been very conscientious about replacing all rubber hoses every 5 yrs, but sadly overlooked the 'O' rings on the quick connectors for the pitot static lines at the wing root. These have gone rock solid since last derigged and it looks as though I can only disconnect them at the expense of destroying the connectors. I mention it for the benefit of those whose connectors are nearly as old as mine and in the faint hope that someone out there has found a solution to this problem. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

    Hi David, They might have gone "sticky" rather than hard. As you have nothing to lose, I would be tempted to spray some WD40 or similar into the connector to see if it frees the O rings.

    Hi All, After tightening up the castle nut to 18lb we still had a problem so I took your advise and purchased Fluorcarbon Nyogel 868H, stripped out the nose wheel and found a small amount of grease had got on the shimmy plate (Nev Eyre was correct, again!!), cleaned it all down and used the Nyogel, test flew the aircraft and it works a treat!! I purchased a 10 gram tube (NL1013) from Newgate Simms Ltd, Chester (01244 660771), they were VERY helpful, cost 21.00 including Vat and delivery, a very worthwhile purchase and highly recommended.
