Hi I am working on completing the Ex Thai Dimona imported into New Zealand some years ago and have a couple of issues which have come up which I am sure can be answered by someone in the list.
The first relates to the 2 rod ends at the outer end of the elevator. They have a 6mm dia rod end hole but have an 8mm thread. (normally a 6mm rod end has a 6mm thread) There does not seem to be any diagram in the H-36 parts book of it, and the NZ Hursshmann agents have not got them listed. Maybe this is another "special" (and really expensive like the front tailplane rod end). The existing ones are too corroded to reuse. So my question is .... does anybody know the part number of those rod ends?? The second question relates to the 2 work orders relating to a rib replacement and operating arm / bearing in the elevator plus balancing weights on the end of the actuating arm .... it doesn't appear to be an AD .... does anybody know about that?? It seems logical to do it based on the level of corrosion on this specific aeroplane.
