 |

Hi Group
We're in the process of installing the flap control on our XS Monowheel.
We needed to tweak (bend) the pushrod a little to get it to clear the rear liftpin tierod and pitch cross tube.
Things are looking about as good as they are going to get.
When gear is up or down when the flap pushrod is at rest (1 positive G), the rod is resting on the aft most right side of the tunnel.
The thing I'm not crazy about, if I push the flap pushrod port, which would represent negative G's (bouncing on the ground), it can rub on the pitch pushrod, or the head of the front attachment bolt for the pitch pushrod.
Have those flying just ignored this, or put some sort of wear block/guide to keep it from the pitch pushrod?
Details most welcomed.
Thx.
Sincerely
Ron Parigoris

Ron, mine does the same. I wrapped it with nylon spiral wrap that is used for cables. Its seems to do a nice job of protecting things.
