Reed" To: "LancAir Mail List" Subject: Hydraulic Cylinder Stops on 320 Main Gear Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2000 17:30:38 -0500 X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> Hello LNC2 Builders, I have just completed the main gear cylinder attach points and have discovered that if I set the rod end bearings to bottom out the cylinders in the down position, the up stops are about 1/4" to short to properly set the retract position. The manual makes no reference to setting the down stop, but it seems like continuous pressure on the overcenter link would not be desirable. I located the cylinder attach points 13.75" from the GM4 location per the manual, unfortunately I did not check the retract and down stops prior to building the attach points. Has anyone else experienced problems in this area ? Is it important to set both the down and retract stop positions ? Where could one obtain a redesigned up stop ? Thanks for any advise, Thomas Reed Future 360 driver >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
