Thanks everyone : was Cessna 150 @ $11,245 per hour
Removing and replacing any part of a control system is a
serious item here in Canada, and I suspect the FAA would take it pretty serious, too. Here we have to have TWO people inspect any engine or flight control system that's been "disturbed," and the signatures in the logs to prove it. At least one has to be a licenced mechanic, and the other has to be trained in what to look for. There have been accidents in recent years when control systems were left loose or connected backward (easy to do in many aircraft) and things came unglued in a hurry, killing people. One of those was a 172 that had had the control wheel shaft out, and the assembly looked good but was wrong and it came apart in flight. The 150 has the same setup. Aircraft upholstery shops are often certified to reweb belts. Much cheaper than buying new. Check with some major structural repair shops at a larger airport; they'll know who does them. Cessna now demands that belts be replaced or rewebbed every ten years. I suppose there perhaps have been a few failures in accidents. Sometimes duct tape goop can be taken off acrylics with isopropyl alcohol. I've also used acetone but you have to be mighty quick about it or it'll start attacking the plexiglass. Never let laquer thinner or MEK anywhere near it. Dan Dan |
