Talking Bearing Mod For Mains!

....Just a reminder that we are now doing the sealed bearing modification on all models of RVs and most all other home builds and experimentals. ....

Hey there Allan.

I haven't mounted up the catto prop you sold me about a year ago...

In regards to your pst above, i was at your website and do not see a listing for the main gear bearing mod or the cost. Im interested in the mod for the mains on my -4.

Thanks!

....Wow! You are correct, I forgot to put it up there, guess the senility is begun to take it's toll. The price is the same as the front wheels. Thank you for letting me know. Allan....

Just ran across this thread and am interested in sealed, easily torqued bearings on my RV-7A. I don't think the RV-7A has a spindle like in the earlier Beringer diagrams... does the RV-10? Anyone know how the Beringer wheel bearings are supported on an RV-7?

Thanks,
Russ

Default Wheel bearings

This is not the first time Ball bears have been used for wheel bearings. I own another experimental that has Ball bearings and was a original design. And the plane is treated a lot rougher than RV would ever be treated.
Keep up the good work Allen.

To kick off an old post again, are there any high time users if this bearing upgrade who are able to give feedback on the product? I?m up for my first bearing repack and I?d rather take the time to convert to a lower maintenance solution. Repacking bearings reminds me why I never buy shimano bicycle hubs. They just need to get with the 21st century.
Tom.

Default bearings

I am not a high time user but I did the mod on all my wheels about a year ago. I love it. No more packing bearings and the plane rolls so smooth.

Thanks Matt. No more takers? This mod has been out for a while so I was expecting that there would be some longer term users with experience to share, unless I'm the only one that doesn't like re-packing wheel bearings every annual inspection.

Tom.

I also had them install in the wheels on my new -7 build, but I?m still in the building process so I haven?t had a chance to try them out yet. For me, it was a no brainer and I wanted them installed from the get-go. Hopefully I?ll be giving them a good workout before long!
