Subject: 360 inner gear doors
Thanks, I forgot to mention, my ac has
Outback Gear. Re- the inner gear doors vibrate with engine run, taxi, and
probably in flight.
Also: New Item:
The hydraulic reservoir at max fill
always manages to puke out a bit of hydraulic fluid out the cap to the floor
below. Also, the right side of the reservoir has a vertical split about
2" long. The split is tight and does not leak when on the
ground. After a flight, a small amount of hydraulic fluid
does leak out split as well as from the yellow cap (with its 4 small relief
spots to prevent cavitation).
I drilled a 1/16th hole in the
yellow vented cap for additional ventilation, but no change.
I used clear silicon for a
neat repair of vertical but tight split and it worked for one flight, but then
was attacked by the hydraulic fluid and failed and a slight weep appeared
again. Has anyone used a plastic epoxy sealant to repair in
place?
In the end, I believe
the reservoir neck needs to be higher and with more ventilation to prevent air
pressure challenges.
