When you forgot the word torque, I felt that. When my brain can't be bothered to work right, I know its lunch time

Where you been Andrew, thanks for the real world videos! By the why I go to aviator college at the same airport. How’s working for sunstate?

[@aerocrafty6006]

I very much enjoyed working for Sunstate. Very good people and professional. And very nice aircraft.

[@gflores71]

Do you have to loosen the attachment bolts at the root ? the wing does show considerable drop once the strut is removed. Does this cause any damage to the wing spar? Thanks

[@aerocrafty6006]

Good question! So the how this year of Cessna 150 is built the wings are connected to to the fuselage with 2 bolts and bushings that allow the the wing to hinge up and down freely without damaging or breaking torque off the spar bolts. Sorry for the late response. But a really good question.

Good stuff man, keep it up!

[@catabasian]

If you know, what metal is the strut made from, steel or aluminum?

[@aerocrafty6006]

Aluminum.

[@ninerlives]

What is the strut made of? I’ve always wondered how strong it is and how much weight AN8 bolts are rated for.

[@aerocrafty6006]

They are hollow and are fairly light. Not totally sure what the total weight they can handle but it is quite a lot.

@@aerocrafty6006 using your head to raise the wing seem like it could lead to injury.

[@ninerlives]

@@aerocrafty6006 Found the answer. About 30,000 pounds those bolts can take.

Actually I was looking for oleo strut cleaning

[@kirkstinson7316]

Does it get the same AD inspection for struts as the 172? For cracks inside

[@aerocrafty6006]

No AD of that sort on a Cessna 150M. I was just concerned by the noise it was making and decided to have a look.

[@yankkesrule]

Did you give them a quote to install a step?

[@aerocrafty6006]

I have not given them a quote yet. But I did say they need to have a step installed or keep a step ladder handy to keep students off the strut .

[@lailah_and_jack]

How long have you been certified?

[@aerocrafty6006]

1 year. But i have been working on aircraft for over 4 years

[@lailah_and_jack]
