Nigel,
I too have specialized tool for setting these bearings, but I found your
price a bit high for a lowly hammer, that's why we have a highly refined
tool called a High Inertia Fine Adjustment Tool (HIFAT) for only 150.
For others I have a less expensive Government Surplus High Acceleration
Mass Mechanical Error Reducer for those fine adjustments at only 56.
Regards,
Bud

Hi Roland,
The ''eyeball'' ball socket is held captive by a ring [ collar ], if
the ring has moved outboard, it will allow the eyeball to swivel too
far, that is why the pin will jam in the hole.
Find a steel tube that just clears the eyeball, but is smaller than
the socket housing.
Align the eyeball hole parallel to the flap tube.
Get someone to hold a piece of wood against their leg and bear against
the port side of the flap tube, place the steel tube onto the collar and
strike the tube with a hammer.
When the ring is engaged deeper, the eyeball will only swivel a very
small amount.
You must of course use a special Aircraft Hammer, I have these for
sale at only =C2=A3120 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I have my Europa stored in the trailer and rig it any time
I=C3=A2=C2=C2=99m flying. Newly I
have the problem, that the starboard flap pin doesn=C3=A2=C2=C2=99t
slide in easy as was
always the case before (for two years at any temperature). It feels like
it
cants and then after wiggling the wing up and down, forth and back it
suddenly
skips in completely. I always grease those connections very well and
also the
ring inside the flap operation tube, that catches the pin, is movable as
on the
other side.
Flap operation when rigged is normal.
Has anyone of you experienced something similar? Where do I have to
focus on?
Roland
