Piper PA-28 question

adjustment, and people tend not to bother fixing them.

Hmmmm. That's weird. Mine is 37 years old, and it always seems to work
whenever I need to tweek it.

Interesting. I'll have to give it a try. If it works, I'll owe you a cold
one!

Mine works but just *barely*. It takes quite a bit of turning to budge
the
rudder.

The trick is to give the knob a turn, then kick the appropriate
rudder pedal. Always works for me. I presume the kick ovecomes the
friction or "stickiness" in the system.

Deal, Marco! Will you come here to treat me, or must I come to your
place?

I'm based out of Long Island, NY (KFRG). I want to check out your solution
in the next few days.

Those items are part of your annual. If they are not corrected then you need
to bring it up to you AP IA next time out so he will be sure to verify
proper rigging of your controls and possibly find corrosion has set in to
inhibit proper pilot adjustments. You never know how far these minor things
might become major.
