 Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2007 9:43 am Post subject: Tail Plane Blues |
 |
|
OK I've been quiet long enough. I'm getting the tail plane blues! I'd
write a song but I don't think any of the record producers here in
Nashville would buy into it.
I have a tri-gear quick build that has performed perfectly for 80+
hours. I have the compression fitting PVC covers that lots of others
have used to cover the pip pins. They cannot come out. A quick view of
these covers during the pre-flight shows they are in place. As far as
the de-bounding of the tail plane from the TP6 you only need a quick
pre-flight check by two people trying to move each tail plane opposite
or doing this every 10 hours in my view is fine. No Slop No de-bonding.
My trim tabs have no slop either and are quite secure with only the
hinge movement. This I have made part of the pre-flight.
I understand all the fuss and discussion but come on guys... we don't
even know what happened yet for sure. I too am concerned about the
de-valuing of this great plane by all this talk. Are we really gaining
anything here. Lets pull the plug on this and get back to building and
flying this incredable aircraft.
Every time I fly N128LJ my smile gets bigger and bigger! And this is
from a guy that was considering selling about 6 months ago. What the
frick was I thinking ;•0
I am now trying to sell my motorcycle so my wife will allow me to go
for the Airmaster with the Sensenich blades I hear may be coming out.
Now thats worth discussing!
Please No Flaming... I get enough of that from my clients!
Best Regards To All and happy flying!

Jeff,
What have you heard about the Airmaster/Sensenich combination? What are
the advantages and, if substantial, can the Sensenich blades be retro
fitted to an original Airmaster configuration...?

I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know. Sorry... The rummer mill
says they may be introducing the combination at Oshkosh. I am waiting
to find it all out myself. I do know that the folks at Jabaru / Arion
here in Shelbyville TN are having serious results with the new carbon
fiber Sensenich. It's ground adjustable hub is supposed to be a very
easy adjustment. It cools much better as the root has more twist at the
root than the warp drive. If you remember there we're a lot of 912
powered sport pilot planes at Sun-N-Fun with it and most report good
things. I may be switching to it even without the Airmaster as I'm
still having cooling issues climbing out on hot days. This prop has
been said to solve those with other 912/914 planes as a result of the
root twist.
I may spend my hub money on that 496... Got to have one!!

Jeff R.
