| Subject: | Re: Rear housing for a Rotax E- gearbox |
Hey guys,
Disassembly of the housing and removal of the plug reveled damage to the thr
eads. Looks like someone may have cross threaded the plug and caused the cra
ck, than chased the threads to clean it up. Real butcher. Anyway, it's at th
e weld shop now and I figure I'll have to helicoil the hole after the repair
.
Anyone know what thread those suckers are?

To answer your question about you having the right controls. I attached
two pictures. The first is the way my controls arrived from Kolb after
I purchased them. The 2nd is the way they look installed in my M3X-tra.
If you look close you can see the adjustable linkage to put the sticks
centered where they need to be. As I said eariler, I had to remove
them. I just lost too much control with them. You will also notice all
the extra linkage that puts more play in the controls. My center stick
is longer, giving me more leverage and direct connection to the
controls. Hope this helps.
