DrBill Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 On pilot side, the yoke shaft hits the engine mount bolt head and "hangs" a bit. nothing appears to be loose or worn, Not always but whenever the IA checks it. Any idea how to fix? Bill
takair Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 Do you have photo? I'm drawing a blank now, but I'm pretty sure it should hit the stop in the aft fuselage first. I suspect your rigging is off.
Yetti Posted April 7, 2017 Report Posted April 7, 2017 It seems like there are many inches between the yoke shaft and firewall.... but that was 2 years ago
DrBill Posted April 11, 2017 Author Report Posted April 11, 2017 checked rigging, looks right on, IA has question. "Why did the control surface movement change from 10 to 22 starting with S/N 690001? and on my E the shaft is close to or hits the left side of the engine mount bolt yet on a 64 C on the field it is 2 in below and left, yet both are "TIGHT"? Bill
DrBill Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Posted April 13, 2017 turned out my plane was set for 22 degrees when it should have been 10.5. That will fix the problem. Bill
jamesm Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 I had a similar problem with my M20C after the Lycoming O 360A1D during a engine installation years ago. So I turned the engine mount bolt around, so that the head of the Engine mount bolt in the cabin. James '67C

jamesm Posted April 14, 2017 Report Posted April 14, 2017 I wonder if this a rigging issue? Is this something recent ? Or Has this been the case for awhile? James '67C
