As another point of info regarding the use of tubing on the front spinner

bulkhead, I also had failures when I used Tygon tubing. When I switched to polyurethane tubing, the problems went away. Urethane has much higher cut and abrasion resistance. I have about 250 hours on the urethane and it still looks good. Bob F. N200QK EAA Flight Advisor

Sam, FYI, I've been using an aluminum spinner, aluminum backing plate and aluminum front bulkhead (wrapped with small diameter black rubber fuel hose)for 700+ hours now and have never had a problem. The front bulkhead/rubber hose to spinner is a fairly snug push on fit. Regards, Jim P. P.S. I've now converted the outer bushings on my ailerons and elevators from steel on steel bushings(factory)to Rulon on steel. It completely eliminated the up/down slop found on most all Q's. The controls are extremely smooth. I will keep everyone informed as I complete a 1 yr. test period. -- In Q-LIST@yahoogroups.com, shoskins@m... wrote: > > Apparently the plate/tubing combination was not rock solid and some movement > occurred.
