8. FREEDOM AND ENTIRENESS OF CONTROL RODS
Closely examine the state and safety of the safety points on the control rods, linkages, bearings and fiberlock
nuts. There should be insignificant play in the "Uniball" rod end bearings and no evidence of corrosion or
damage.
The control rods should be straight and undamaged. The control rods should be free to rotate slightly around
their axis when gripped and given a light twist. Any undue force needed or inability to twist the bearing may
indicate a problem of the bearing and should be further investigated.
9. ROTOR HEAD, RIGHT HAND SIDE
Standing upright or on a ladder, check that all the rotor head nuts are fixed well and that all the safety locking
systems are present and functional. Examine as far as possible the rotor head and hub-bar assemblies for
cracks, damage, wear, corrosion and rubbing. Check the state of the teeth and make sure they are not
damaged. Make sure the flexible shaft and the Bendix pre-rotation gear are adequately coated with grease.
Check the state of the notched gear.
10. UNDERCARRIAGE, RIGHT HAND SIDE#
Check the state and safety of the leaf spring and mounting bolts.
11. WHEELS AND WHEEL SPATS
Check the state and safety of the anchoring of the wheel, hub, axle and wheel spats. Check all the tires and
make sure their inflation pressure is correct. Check their state, possible damage and unbalance of rubbing
marks. Either roll the gyroplane forward or remove the wheel spats to check all the tires. Ensure any dirt and
debris have been removed from inside the wheel spats. Examine as far as possible the state of the braking
system. Ensure the components of this system show no leaks or damage. Check the brake lines and make
sure there is no evidence of bending or chafing.
12. ENGINE MOUNT, RIGHT HAND SIDE
Inspect the welding points of the engine mount and check that there is no crack, damage or chafing. Check
the entireness of the vibration dampers and make sure the fixing bolts are tightened correctly. Check the
welds of the structure for cracks and damages.
13. ENGINE, RIGHT HAND SIDE
Check the safety, corrosion, state, levels, leaks, damage and chafing of the following components:
- carburetors, linkages and cables
- airbox fixing
- wirings and connections
- cooling system
- oil reservoir and oil
- oil filter
- radiator and oil radiator
- spark plugs and their connection coverings
- engine feelers, connectors and fasteners
- oil and coolant hoses and clamps
- on 914-TCU and its mount
- exhaust system, springs, joints, mounts and safety wires
- pre-rotation assembly, belts, cables and flexible shaft
