E-Box - free play?

Postby Gannet » Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:46 pm

I have noticed about a 1 cm or slightly more free movement in my 72" P-Prop tip movement, before the crank of the 582 turns. What would be 'normal' free play?

Maybe I should explain a bit better. The tip of the prop is 36"" from the centre of the prop shaft. Check the free play at the edge of the propshaft, and you will see the correct end play there. But then to be on the safe side, I will look it up in da book, and report back!

Fly safe, and enjoy your Baby. When you flying up to come smell the blommetjies?

That IS the 'normal' free play.
Stop stressing and go fly!
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two
