The bushes that move on the out riggers on the mixer. Should they be greased ???. Eg they operate the rods for the alerons etc. Lyndon
-
That's amazing. I just can't see it as I have just made it. I'm sure as I go to fit it will make sense. Thanks Lyndon
-
Does the mixing assembly just fit on two bushes behind the cabin. If so I take it it moves ???. Manual seems to state this but seems odd. Lyndon

I have been in touch with Reg. He tells me to cut 3 mm off the the spacers and leave the circlips in. I still don't understand what the spacers do. That are on the outside so they don't adjust the wheels position and surely the locking nut has a better seat on it than a thin spacer . Buggered if I know. Lyndon
-
One last question. My manual and parts list does not list what goes in here. From what I see from pics is cup head set screws with no washers ???
-
My washer now seats perfect
-
Circlips removed. Steel washers fits nicely with felt seals under them. Lots of thread left and I can pre load the bearings Lyndon
-
Ok I have a circlip stopping each race from seating or to be precise this is what it seats on. Thus my bearings are 4.6 mm wider apart as each clip is 2.3 mm in width. I'm presuming this is why I'm running out of thread for the nut with the spacer and also the outside washer does not have enough purchase to be seated properly on the axle in lieu of the end with the thread which is smaller diameter. Wtf. I know they are golf cart wheels ??. Am I just unlucky getting this mistake or am missing something. Lyndon
-
Ok I have a had a look. The races are not seated because it looks like a circlip is in the rim for the race to seat on. Removing this is the go I think to give me space . Lyndon
-
The bearing is perfectly seated on the axle. That's one sure thing I can see. Will look at the rims. Seems odd as all three rims are the same. Maybe the same bloke knocked them all in not quite right. I take it the spacer is because you run of thread to preload the bearing. I have the opposite problem. Lyndon
-
I agree. I will knock one out and see what is what
-
No the races don't seem seated in the rims. But as they were already fitted I can't see if there is a step there. I have tapped them and they don't want to move. If your talking about the bearing. Yes it's seated properly. Lyndon
-
There is no way the axle is long enough to fit the wheels. The races are seated properly on the rims. The out side washer which is the same diameter as the axle doesn't even fit. Just sits on the thread as the axle is just not long enough. Clearly I'm missing something. Lyndon
-
Also the rear wheels. I have no idea why this spacer needs to go in. Once again no thread for the nut . Why can't the nut be tightened against the washer directly ???
-
Looks like I have two spacers but manual says use one. I'm presuming I have this set up correct. ???. If so once installed the nut only just bites a few threads ???. Any insight would great. Lyndon
-
Thanks as usual I found them. In the bag with the the pedal friction blocks. I'm sure the screws will be in amongst the one of those bags . Lyndon
-
Ok my build is going well. Rebuilt my motor. Wings and tail all painted. Under carriage all done. Fuselage is basically assembled. So I don't have many parts left in my house. Taking into account every part I ever lost I have found and there has been many. But I can't find the friction blocks for the throttle shaft. I have the bracket sf284 but I can't find sf417 which consists of four nylon parts and some screws I think. I'm guessing they will be in a bag. If anyone can think where theirs were. Maybe inside another part ??? Any help to what I'm looking for would be great. Thanks Lyndon
-
Yes it may.
-
I'm still debating wether to fit or not. But while I'm painting I may well do it.
-
Found. With no part number. Not in my parts book and the manual just shows a pic of the light and where to place it. I would never have even guessed where this goes. Thanks again
-
Thanks so much. Off to find the two tear drop reinforcing plates. Thanks Lyndon
-
Sorry. Seems like auto spell is working. Sure you all get the drift
-
The light Mmm. I have a cover that attaches to the wing. A hella light with an adjuster that seems to go no where. The manual shows nothing from what I can see . Lyndon
-
Thanks Rick. It's seems very long and was expecting some fancy think to be in the end to catch wind. But I guess simple is good. I will wait till the wing is on the plane but will paint it with my tongue wing . Thanks Lyndon
-
Gday. Pitot tube. I can't find it my manual. Is it sf621. Part number. Also fitting of the hella light in its little shroud. Any pics or info on fitting both of these much appreciated. Lyndon
