 Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2008 5:07 am Post subject: VA-196 Stall Warning Vane |
 |
|
Has anyone had a problem with the VA-196 Stall Warning Vane being too small to accept the MS24694C14 machine screw that retains it?
On mine, the machine screw does not fit and I was wondering if this is common or I have a faulty vane. I did confirm that I am using the correct fastener (#8 structural, 100 deg c/s flat head, philips drive, 32 threading, 21/32 grip length, 1 1/16 overall length).
Best Regards,
Patrick #40715 / N690CT

Hey Patrick,
You bet. Yesterday we tried slightly drilling out the vane -- and found out it is definitely hardened, stainless, whatever. When finished, the screw fit, but discovered that the weld was cracked on the vane from clamping it in the vice by the vane. Scrap. I don't want to try rewelding and compromising the vane, so we'll be on the phone to Van's today. Oh well. Will post when we find out more.
Later, - Lew

Hi Lew,
Sorry to hear you had trouble, but glad to know I'm not the only one. That
bushing on the vane is really hard steel, I'm sure that was no fun to ream.
If you don't mind, please post back with Van's comments. I'm curious to
hear what they say.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Patrick #40715 / N690CT

Found the same. Had to drill it out. Turned it into a nice little
pretzel and had to re-order.
I forgot exactly how I managed to drill it out without destroying it,
but careful restraint and lot's of lube never hurts.

OK, Patrick. We talked to Van's today and evidently they're aware of the problem cuz they said they'd send out a replacement with a vane and bolt that match -- no charge. We'll see.
In the meantime there's lot's to do -- the main gear are on today, and after the engine mount and nose gear are on and seats temporarily in, we'll really be able to sit in it and "vroom vroom"!

I didn't install my stall warning vane and I still have the parts bag, if either of you want it. You pay the postage and I'll mail it.

Thanks for the offer, John.
The replacement stall vane and screw arrived from Van's -- free of charge! The screw is the same, the diameter of the new vane is larger so that it fits correctly. Folks might want to check that when their kit comes instead of waiting until install time.
