Subject: | Re: Prop Governor revisited |
I have a wide deck IO-540-N1A5. After Kelly posted the gear ratio reminder I was
worried about my governor I received from Vans. I have the -3 model for narrow
deck so I called MT. The tech advised me that it will probably work as is.
If it doesn't reach full RPM there are options. First try to adjust the set
screw that is safety wired by rotating it out. If that still doesn't work I
call him back and he talks me through internally adjusting the governor. Either
way I won't have to send it back to MT. This is also because I have the latest
mod on the governor.

The 10 kits and engine came FEDEX without problem; the only problem on
the Glastar was a scratched wing skin which was replaced by the
manufacturer and was due to their packing not the shipper.

I went with ABF on the tail and wings and was 1 for 2: the tail crate shipped
without a scratch, but as I posted above, wasn't as lucky with the wing crate
that held the skins.
I went with Partain on the fuse without incident and he was cheaper than ABF's
quote.

The engine is strapped to a pallet. It is possible for a moron to punch the
outside of the box with a fork from a fork lift=2C but the opporator is ai
ming for a different area.
The box is strapped down well and it will not move independantly from the p
allet=2C so the fork can't get between the box and the pallet.
It would need a pretty direct hit to get through the box=2C and the expande
d foam. It is possible and you would just get another engine.
Plenty of other stuff to worry about.

I think the issue is that the box the empennage came in is NOT on a pallet. The
forklift operator has to get under the box with the forks. To keep from skidding
the box, he has to have some momentum and that momentum leads to smashing
through the sides.

All my freight was shipped Fedex freight. In each and every case the crates
sat on pallets, the driver moved them on the pallets and even offered to
leave them (great firewood) no extra charge. In one case we moved the crate
off the pallet and the driver took it with him. My understanding is the
pallets came from Oregon, AKA they were placed on a pallet when picked up
and left on that pallet until delivered.
I had no issues at all with my deliveries.

My tail kit was shipped with ABF. Im Huge red letters it said HIGH DOLLAR AIRCRAFT
PARTS on it, and an arrow showing which way should be up.
Lo and behold, when the guy opened the back of the truck, the arrow was pointing
down...
No damage though. The rest came with Partain, and some with Fedex. Didn't want
to risk ABF anymore.

There are two of us that are around 300 hrs and now the flaps have been not
wanting to come all the way up. If you give them a little- help by pushi
ng up on them or by taking off where there is air pressure on them, they co
me up. My buddy has looked in his tunnel and does not see anything wrong. W
ondering if anybody else has had this problem. I'll- be taking- mine ap
art in another week or so to find out what is going on, wondering, if this
is a know problem with the flap motor or the gears.
They come up to around the half way or first flap setting with no problem a
nd then stop, and going down there is no problem just coming up.

We didn't have any of that until we installed the FPS. Sometimes I have to
hold the switch down for a second or so, as if the motor needs to run for a
bit to get the microswitch out of its notch...just guessing.
One time we had to cycle the switch several times to get the flaps to come
up. That was early on and it hasn't repeated that problem.

> There are two of us that are around 300 hrs and now the flaps have been not wanting
to come all the way up. If you give them a little help by pushing
up on them or by taking off where there is air pressure on them, they come
up. My buddy has looked in his tunnel and does not see anything wrong. Wondering
if anybody else has had this problem. I'll be taking mine apart in another
week or so to find out what is going on, wondering, if this is a know problem
with the flap motor or the gears.
> They come up to around the half way or first flap setting with no problem and
then stop, and going down there is no problem just coming up.
