I am finding many gliders now getting 20 years old when multiprobes were introduced are now nothing but trouble especially with club gliders. Enc is from ESA web site and just a reminder to all * * * * *Notice: The NBR 70 O-rings will last for the aircraft‘s life time if the following* *is observed: the inserted probe should always be clean and slightly lubricated.* *This ensures that it moves through the O-rings without damaging them. A dirty* *or dry probe causes friction and will destroy them over time.* * *
The mounts in the fins can be replaced but is a bit of work Procedure for replacing ring 3 (type UN and SUN) Remove the adapter from the fuselage and remove the adapter end cap by heating it up to 90°C (195°F, for example by using a hot air gun). The O-ring 3.68x1.78 NBR 70 can now be replaced as described previously. After replacement the end cap has to be glued back into place using an epoxy glue (UHU-plus 300 or similar) and tempered for one hour at approx. 70°C (160°F). Ian McPhee
