Tom Baker Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I just wanted to give everbody a heads up on something I have found on 2 airplanes that I have looked at in the past month. Both airplanes have not had the TruTrak SB on the autopilot servos complied with. This SB came out in June 2010, so it should have been caught and taken care of already. There have actually been 2 SB's for the servos, and the last one required that you remove the aileron servo and send it in for modification for most installations on the CT. You can get to the SB from the Flight Design USA website, but here is a link to the TruTrak forum with the PDF in the first post. http://trutrakap.com/forum/showthread.php?t=256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Seems like this would be a major concern on the purchase of any owner maintained and inspected aircraft. These 2 airplanes were not owner maintained. In fact I think most of the owners who are doing maintenance on thier CT's do a pretty good job with keeping up on SB's.

sandpiper Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Seems like this would be a major concern on the purchase of any owner maintained and inspected aircraft. Which is why you would hire someone with knowledge and reputation to do a pre buy no matter who did the maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 What is the FD service bulletin? Does it apply to the CTLS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Here is the page for Trutrak bulletins listed on the FD web site: http://trutrakap.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Roger, that is a Trutrak forum not an FD web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Lee Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I know it's the Trutrak, but that is what FD uses for their Trutrak updates and bulletins. This site is listed on the FD website under support and bulletins and down at the bottom for trutrak bulletins. This used to be on the FD site by itself, but someone that runs the website for FD changed it and just made it a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Baker Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Doug, here is the link to the Flight Design page. Go to the bottom and find the download for TruTrak, but it takes you to the same place. http://flightdesignusa.com/support/sb-components/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G. Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ok, that was covered by the previous owner. Thanks Roger & Tom. I was using my phone and didn't see the link to the bulletin pdf in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
