I'll throw this one out there for some input from
those who have 'been there'. This is probably just a very simple issue of
replacing two bushings in the control column. Anyway, here
goes.......
I have some
slop or play in the control yokes which upon inspection appears to be
from movement (looseness or play) of the top shaft that goes down the middle of
the control column. The visible components look fine (chain, etc.), and it
moves slightly side to side within the column when the control wheels are
moved, so I'm assuming it's the top bushing inside the column that is
worn (415-52119, page 30 & 33, figure 21, No
37).
Any suggestions
or comments about that condition? The control column was supposed to have
been gone through and rebuilt about 10 or 12 years and 1200 hours ago. Are
there other parts that are likely to be worn & in need of replacement other
than those two bushings?
Are there any
'tricks' to watch for when replacing the bushings in the control column,
removing or re-installing the column, or checking the rigging & controls
post repair?
Feel free to
reply off line or on line as appropriate.
Thanks in
advance.
