01s=0AObjet : Europa-List: TP12=0A=0Ain 1999 I glued my TP12 on to the TP4 
torque tube using Loctite 603, because I had some play (less than 1/2"); to
day and some 700 hours later I can report that this fix proved itself as I 
have 0 play!=0AKlaus =0A(MkI, OE-CKD)=0A=0ADate: Feb 21, 1999=0AFrom: Klaus

y decided to repair my play in the TP 12 by glueing it to the TP 4 torque t
ube. I used Loctite 603 (for lightly oil contaminated parts, shear strength
 3.700 psi) which I applied on the torque tube on the 10 mm inbord of TP 12
. I did this only after careful in-situ testing how to soften the glue agai
n in case of disassembling without heating the aircraft structure or soften
ing the Redux holding the TP 11 bushes. In case you are going this route, h
ere is the way to go: take a halogen bulb of 150W (size: 75 mm long) which 
will be centrally mounted between two discs (made of some scrap of the fire
wall material) with a diameter of 34mm. The discs are hold together by two 
threaded wire rods (2mm diameter) each with a nut on both ends. For the ele
ctrical contacts I disassembled the halogene spot (cost Euro 5,--) and used
 the small metall contacts which I mounted centrally to the discs. The elec
tric cables which are crimped on the contacts are running on each side of t
he
 assembly. The complete assembly is than slided into the torque tube and pl
aced exactly under the TP 12 well inboard of the TP 11 bushes, where the gl
ue is. One cable will go to the left and one to the right end of the tube. 
When you switch on the light, very concentrated heat will be emitted by the
 bulb which heats the tube from the inside on a length of not more than 70 
mm. The Loctite needs about 150=B0C to soften completely. This temperatur
e will be reached easily after 2 to 2,5 minutes. You can than slide the TP 
12 out again and swich off the heat. The "firewall discs" help to concentra
te the heat and the TP 11 bushes don't get any more than "handwarm" (not mo
re than 40=B0C). Thanks to Jim N. for this idea! It works perfectly. For 
those who are still building, make shure you are using anchor nuts to fix t
he servo motor and the trim assembly below as well as shackles or turnbuckl
es for the safety cables which are holding the counterwight......this will 
asure you an easy
 disassembly of all the "mechanics" in the back of the fuselage; something 
which inevitably will happen sooner or later..... Obviousely you'll need al
so an access panel at this very strategic place.....You may also file the h
eads of the pins square to be able to turn them with a spanner to position 
the hole of the split pin. Have fun...it's just a 10 minutes fix (I'm Ivan'
s disciple....) Klaus =0A-- =0A=0AKlaus Dietrich =0AOracle Financing EMEA
