Finally got most of my sensors to talk to the new Kanardia Daqu/Digi. Great improvement from my old generation Flydat and it is in my eye-line. 30 minutes flying plus soaring up 500 ft, Winter vario also works.

Roll on Summer soaring.

awesome!



Please keep the soaring pireps coming! Inspiration for us long wing builders.

Still  chasing down my intermittent resonance.

Question for folks: what typical pull values are folks seeing for their gearbox dog friction measurement? I'm near the low limit of 22ft-lbs.

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pete On our 914 circa 2005 which is new and only run at factory, I pulled the gearbox to inspect things and purged oil system and got oil pressure. Engine was at room temp with Mobil 1 10w30 oil. It also has a B&C SD20S alternator on the vacuum pad which definitely adds to friction. I measured January 284.4 inch lbs., or 17.8 foot lbs.

Maximum allowable friction is 1,328 inch lbs., or 83 foot lbs., so I was just about 22% allowable.  Ron P.

My bad I wasn't clear enough.... I was speaking of the locked-crankshaft dog-clutch friction test as per the pic of the Line maintenance manual attached.  



I am very near the minimum torque spec (22-51.6ft-lbs), with a freshly serviced (by the local authorized rotax center) box.... discouraging.

I was wondering what other folks are seeing typically.... ie - near the bottom as well? Or nicely centered in the range (and (at) how many hours).

Cheers and thanks!

Pete,



I looked at the last couple years of inspections and found that our 914 shows about 35 ft lbs.  We measure with a cheap fish scale so accuracy is not real high but reasonable.
