Re: King Air Wing Strap

Hi

Just to clarify, all King Air 350's have bolt on wings.. Not the one piece type like the 1900.

I have worked on them as a mechanic since 1990.

Re: bleed air failure

L382 Check the EVA tubing which runs along side the bleed air pipework for the "failure" side, like others have said the tubing runs under the cabin floor up to the floor beneath the P2 seat where the pressure switches are.

Re: cessna 172 elevator deflection

Papa

I`m just suggesting it may not be in the interest of saftey to rig a control IAW someones say so, and I am not giving out control deflection angles / figures as advice.

This maybe an Aviation forum but I don`t think its the place to get control rigging figures.

No offence intended :wink:

Re: cessna 172 elevator deflection

Get the latest revision of the airframe maintenance manual /shop manual and rig the control IAW that. If the info is not in the manual (it will be)....call Cessna`s product support.

I cant believe someone is asking advice on how to rig a flying control on an internet forum ...WTF. :rolleyes:
