|

701-ers,
I started my annual today and found a couple of things that might be of interest to you. Actually, I found one of them a week ago, but started working on it today.
Landing Gear.
1. 7L2-2A RUBBER SPACER. - Attaching a picture. You might want to include this in your inspection. This is our third rubber spacer. I think I'm going to find a 6-ply radial tire and cut me a length of material to support the gear.
2. 79-SB Rotax engine Radiator mount.
Obviously I did not have the needed radius for the bend in this mount. I am fabricating a new mount with the required 1/8 " radius.
Hope this helps,
Tommy Walker in Alabama

Tommy,
I just replaced mine with pieces I cut out of a truck tire, this has been my 3rd time with pieces of rubber. I hoe this will be the final solution.

Hi Bob,
I am going to find a good tuff truck tire and cut me out a couple of pieces of material.
What did you cut the rubber with?
Was it a steel belted radial?

A sabre saw with a medium blade works quite well, although the pieces that I was cutting (roughly 4"X 4") were used as buffers on a Catapult to launch melons!!! A piece of plywood backing secured through the sidewall with drywall screws will allow a lot more creativity in your shape/design, though.
(Cutting through both at the same time and being patient)

Tommy,
Yes it was a steel belted tire, used a sawzall to get the chunk of tire apart ad then used my bandsaw to cut to size and shape. Thanks for your reporting on the subject.

On the advice of a fellow builder, I went to the nearest Caterpillar heavy equipment dealer and bought a short section of heavy hydrolic hose, which I cut in half lengthwise. I then cut pieces to fit the landing gear bracket. 138 hours later they haven't slipped out or worn through. The curve of the hose helps keep them in place.

Tommy,
I sliced open large diameter auto heater hose and made landing gear spacers,
for top and bottom of gear.
They have been in place a couple of years and no signs of deterioration.
