Torqueing Lock Nuts

Post by Roland Kriening » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:46 pm

I tried to remove a couple of the nuts holding on the aileron hinge
bracket... the nuts kept spinning. My guess is they are stripped... and I
will have to drill them out. Are these nuts to be torqued to as specific
setting?

Hi Bernard,

Here's the link for Sensenich and their recommendations for AC Type / Engine
combination, http://www.sensenich.com/direct/murphy.htm But as always,
actual flight information may be the best source.

There are other options for propellers other than metal. Just ask the
rebel list, they can tell you what has and has not worked for their AC /
Engine combination.

Cheers,
Jeff

thank you Jeff,
I read with pleasure what you've written, especially since it's rather
good
news.
Can you tell me what propeller should be better for an amphibious Elite, I
think a senssenich, but for which O 320 A2B

Bernard
