Speedbrake does not fully retract

[Marc_B]

@GeeBee I don't understand how they set their price point at all as it's a significant chuck of the price of new speed brakes.  I guess because they can??  It's one item that is definitely well overpriced for what's performed.  Chalk it up to the good old "liability" cost category

Or, they are milking the installed base because new sales are nil.

FWIW.  Was looking for something else and came across the email from Precise Flight customer support when I asked if other comparable lubricants/greases (specifically asked about Aeroshell 7 as I've seen that mentioned before) could be used on the PF Speedbrakes:

Hi Marc,

Thanks for your email. We have had customers use lubricants comparable to Aeroshell 22. However, we only recommend using Aeroshell 22. It is very important that it is not a spray lubrication and that you don't overdue the grease, usually about a pea size amount applied with a brush is sufficient.

Yup, that's what I used.  That tube will last you about 500 years based on the little amount needed.  This is the PM schedule for the 2000 Series I believe where they call out AS22

I have about 15 hours on my plane since the rebuild, working perfectly.
