Dear
subscribers,
I want to get rid of my neoprene
hose around the push rods for the ailerons that keeps the cabin pressure
inside.
I mounted my home sealing device
on the flange outside of the cabin that originally clamped the neoprene
hose.
The push rod slides on an O-ring
in and out and the radial movement gets compensated by the disk that moves up
and down in the housing.
I made all parts out of Aluminum
and the push rod is stainless steel. I have it mounted, I got the wing on and
it seems to work fine.
When I discussed my solution with
a friend he made a very good point:
Altitude changes, condensation,
freezing of condensed water
I am worried now that the disk
could freeze up and my ailerons get stuck.
Do I have to worry about this
since I am not going higher than probably 25,000
feet?
Does anyone have an advice on
this?
