Rich Maisano demonstrates step by step the importance of keeping tension on the nose wheel steering fork of a Bristell and how how to properly achieve this.
You don't torque the castle nut. That's why it has a cotter pin to hold it in place. Use the pull and measure method to set the appropriate resistance as shown by Rich. Rick.
What a great video. That was really helping me with my Bristell
Thanks Rich
Outstanding vid. Just what we owners need to keep our planes in tip top condition. Thx Rich. Rick
Why does it matter that the split pin goes through the same position again? Why not just index the castle nut?
same for single cable installs?
Is there a specific torque value for the top 19mm castle nut?
