Freefall Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 How come on some jetrangers, the cyclic is off to the left to keep the disc level and others its right in the center? is it a diference in the way the controls are rigged up?

mjm Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Usually that is a result of the stick being twisted a little where it attaches to the lever assembly (under the boot). when it's assembled, it needs to be centered. The two bolts are loosened until the stick can twist and then tightened with it in the center. If it's off either way what you described happens and you'll usually find that it hits your leg at full right or left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newt Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 agree with mjm. plus you may be misrigged. stick a bolt up through the belly like you do for rigging....that will be your center. how does your stick sit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcobra Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Or it could be the rigging's out a bit (as little as 1.5 turns on one lateral tube will do it), or both. Have your Engineer verify the rigging just for S & G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefall Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Will have the engineers check it out thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksidelogger Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Check the Rigging We once leased a 206 form another operator after the 1st flight the Pic says it will only fly straight if the stick is in the slightly left position. engineers checked the rigging sure enough it was out a 1/4 inch :shock: we then checked with the previous operator and the response was "oh thats been like that for a while" Scary but true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
