AH-1Z upgrades and Maintenance.
Third Strike
UIH,
After the flight yesterday it was time to go over everything for a final check. Checked all attachment hardware for torque, re-greased the TGB and re-lubed the articulate joints. Pulled the TGB and added heat shrink around the claw coupling, cruciform element and retainer on the input of the TGB. Removed the mechanics and installed the external stores wings. Made a mechanical adjustment to two of the servo to swash link rods. New rigging numbers felt perfect and hovered a touch above half stick. Will get one more quick flight at some point when the weather is nicer then ready to return to the customer.
i do have a few more chapters to add of a couple of the upgrades I will post up.
Hope you enjoyed the post and pics.
Thanks for dropping ny,
UIH,
