 Posted: Sat Feb 28, 2009 6:49 pm Post subject: Stiff rudders |
 |
|
When our Allegro 2000 was delivered the rudders were stiff.
We found the problem to be the sleeve (the piece with the lubricating nipple in enclosed photo) jamming against the collar above. We machined it down a few thou and the rudders are smooth and light.

I as well have stiff rudders. Can you tell me what you machined down? Was it the sleeve or the collar? And did you take the material off the top or the bottom?
Thanks,
Larry

With the tail tied down and the steering link rod removed, the nosewheel should rotate with just a slight drag from the bearings. On my aircraft (Dec 2006) the rudders were STIFF.
From memory, I machined down the top of the sleeve and slipped long bolts thru the rivet holes to check the clearance before rivetting the sleeve in place.
I am sure you know already but the nosewheel has 3 grease nipples.
Regards
Paul
