J170 Owner Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi fellow Jab Heads. I recently did the JSB-029-1 J170 Handling upgrade on my Jabiru. Twice the rudder spring has popped off the chain attached to the rudder pedal since the mod. I have squeezed up the loop on the end of the springs to help prevent this happening again. When the spring has zero tension on it (the opposite pedal is fully depressed) the chain can move so that it falls off the spring. Anybody else experienced this? By the way, how much were YOU charged for the job and did Jabiru reimburse you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J170 Owner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Be there tomorrow giving the FK9 thingy a go. May see you then Oh wow! Okay, I'll try and be there although my days of early to rise have all but gone. Karl was out in the thing today doing circuits and then Sue had a go. It's no longer in my hangar (thank God) but lives in the Jab hangar. I was out doing circuits, my first flight in my plane since the mods. Not that much different to me. Make sure your stick you Contour camera in there somewhere so we can have a gander at the video. I always have a video camera running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
