mikeh Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 We have a little free play between the two elevators. Each elevator torque tube has two bolts through the elevator horn inner torque tube. I suspect the holes on the inner tube have worn a little. Is this a known issue? Are there common fixes to beef up the connection between the elevator and horn torque tubes? Any ideas and suggestions much appreciated. Thanks. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N441V Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 The Ryan overhaul instructions allow elongated holes in the elevator connect tube and elevator spars to be drilled out to the next size, not to exceed 1/8 inch larger diameter of the original hole size. Make sure that the new hole is drilled concentric around the original hole center line. Regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnehus Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 If you have not already drilled oversize try to install NAS close tolerance bolts first. Close Tolerance bolts are slightly larger diameter as compared to standard AN. Easy way to tighten up any slight movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
