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?

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Yak-List: 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.

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.
