| Subject: | Aileron pushrods |
Can someone educate me - looking at a CJ today and it had two different types of
aileron pushrods on it (the final pushrod, attached to aileron itself)
One had the 'fat' ends and a big washer, the other was thin and washer smaller
than the diameter of ball bearing.
I have heard of one of these falling off in flight, but don't know which type it
was.
Assuming this aircraft is set up correctly, why does the 'fat' one require a big
washer (assume it is to prevent the rod coming off if bearing/rod separate)
while the thin one does not?

| Subject: | Any 18T owners on the east coast? |
The Termikas company in Lithuania has asked me if I can help them find a
Yak 18T owner on the east coast. Apparently they have a customer who is
interested in an 18T, but would like to "touch and feel" an 18T before
he commits.
Any help would be appreciated. Please contact me off-list at
dsavarese0812@bellsouth.net.

Anatole,
This is called the #7 pull rod and what you are seeing is simply two
different types, thin was used in the earlier models, thick in later. I
personally have never heard on one "falling off" in flight, but have seen
the bearing come out of position, which is the fault of the mechanic (not
staking the bearing properly). The thin #7 pull rods are difficult to
find, but the thick are in good supply. It is often best to replace the
bearing when dealing with a repair on the thin pull rod. We normally have
these bearings in stock. Again, good shop practices must be used to
prevent the bearing from slipping out of position and jamming the controls.
Best,
Doug
