carusoam Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Nice work, Brian. Thanks for sharing. It does seem to be a one-off kind of event. Have you gone through your logs to see if there was a chain swap noted along the way? Was it ever replaced? Or no history of ever lubing it? Something seems odd about it... PP thinking, only... not a mechanic. Glad you shared the photos and details... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yetti Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 How many hours on the airframe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted January 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) My plane had about 3500 hours on the airframe. There were no specific entries regarding lube of the trim chain. However the old chain was lubricated and moved freely. Perhaps after the decades of holding the tail up and vibrating during flight, maybe it just became worn out. Thanks to everyone for their responses! Brian☺ Edited January 7, 2018 by BrianW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
