I am writing to comment on your 1/4" vs. 3/16" hole sizes question. Look at both the rudder and fuselage rear member drawings at the same time. Where the bushing goes through the hinge middle piece, it is drilled to 1/4". Where the bushing stops up against either side, which clamps the bushing, it is drilled to 3/16" so only the AN3 bolt passes through. The entire hinge is split up between the two drawings so looking at both should make it plain to see. -------- David Gallagher Zodiac 601 XL-B: flying, 200+ hours now Next project under construction: Aircamper Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=375412#375412 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:16:06 AM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: upper bearing From: "zodiac601" The round stop plate doesn't sit flat on the shelf.

This means the stop on the end of the column never gets near the shelf. On mine, the round stop plate did indeed hit the shelf and this prevented the pins from fully engaging the v-block at the bottom of the nose gear column. I was able to fix this by adding an additional nylon spacer between the steel tube and the aluminum stop plate. My total addition was only about 1/8 inch.

I guess you are saying I should make spacers to provide clearance? I never thought of a spacer but that would solve the problem. In Craig's link above, you can see the plate on page 7 of the guide. I think many people with rudder centering issues and hard pedal force are probably experiencing what I am but don't think about the nose gear being fully extended in flight.

Maybe they will put you on the cover next time . . . I don't know about the picture. I would never have known it was you without your name printed on the same page. I guess it would be a lot easier if you posed next to your airplane. Have fun in Europe!

Set your rudder cable tension with no weight on the nose wheel. I had a fairly high rudder force until I realized that the eighth inch of compression of the nose-wheel bungee was reducing the cable tension by a 33% or so.
