Just received my airworthiness inspection today. It was the luck of the draw from our local fsdo that gave me a more thorough look than I was expecting. A few minor things to change but one that almost brought the inspection to a halt took a phone call to Vans to clear up. Referencing his certified experience with a Beech Debonair (I believe) cable chafing and getting stuck, he had a hard time with the rudder cables at F1007 bulkhead rubbing against the snap bushing.
He let it go after seeing the plans and specifying a check at condition inspections although he doesn?t agree with Vans. His logic seems valid of ss rubbing on plastic and surely the bushing would wear a groove, has there been any concerns with this? Not with Vans I found out today and they seem aware of rubbing with no problems with thousands of a/c out there.
I?ve got to think mine are no different than any others since bushing holes are predetermined, anyone see a concern for beefing that up or inserting a smaller bushing inside the original ?
