Subject: | Yak-18T Mystery Mechanism |
My Yak-18T has a mechanism on the RH landing gear that includes a spring loaded
cartridge connected to the upper torque link that pulls on a crank as the shock
strut piston is extended (unloaded) which, in turn, activates a micro-switch
on the bottom of the strut cylinder. The switch appears to be set to activate
at nearly full strut extension. None of my manuals show this installation
or any associated rigging procedure. Neither the Flight Manual or System Description
reference it either. Can anyone explain the function of this switch?
Also, my spring loaded cartridge failed. I had a replacement fabricated, but
would like to get an original part and the proper rigging instructions. Please
let me know if you have any information on this mechanism. Thanks for your help.
