Aircraft Spruce screwed up my rudder cable order... anyone know of a
quicker option? I have a nicopress tool, but like the swaged MS ends much better.
Thanks,

> Emergency AD Affects New 172s, 182s
>
If you've recently taken delivery of a new Cessna 172 or 182, check the
serial number against a list in an Emergency Airworthiness Directive
issued Friday. A few dozen of the brand-new airplanes are grounded
until they can be inspected for potential control rigging problems.
"The FAA has been notified that inadequate or incorrect flight controls
rigging may exist on recently produced Cessna Models 172R, 172S, 182T
and T182T," the Emergency AD reads. It should be stressed that the
affected airplanes are grounded. No ferry permits or repositioning
flights will be allowed. Cessna staff discovered various problems with
aircraft still in the factory. However, it's believed that some
potentially flawed airplanes were delivered (i.e., flown) to their new
owners, who, presumably, have also been flying them.

...Long List Of Defects...Long List Of Defects

What's perhaps most disturbing about this AD is the breadth of defects
discovered by Cessna technicians. Normally an AD focuses on a specific
part or system in an airplane but this one identifies a Pandora's box
of potentially serious issues. According to the AD, Cessna found
misrigged and misaligned control surfaces, a missing bolt on a flap
push/pull rod, cables chafing fuel lines (resulting in damaged fuel
lines), cables routed outside cotter pins, crossed cables, cables
routed outside of pulleys, cables rubbing on bulkheads and center
consoles, unpinned or improperly pinned barrels on control cables and a
bent flap bell crank. These are new aircraft, remember. The AD calls
for an immediate, detailed one-time inspection of the flight control
system and repairs, as necessary, to bring the system up to standard.
Since the AD prohibits any flights before compliance, those with
aircraft in places without suitable maintenance facilities are advised
to phone Cessna Product Support at 316-517-5800.

Skip a sailboat rigging shop has high quality fittings and can do the
swaging for you.
