Has anyone replaced the 2 rubber cones inside the pylon that control the pitch of the airplane?
They are pressed on to a single shaft with pressed in bearings at either end....I dont know how they would come out. The 2 cones are the black parts in the photo.
There are no repro parts so if it could be disassembled I would have to fab my own new rubber cones.
Has anyone done this repair?
Thanks

They look like old style faucet cones, hard to tell size from photo.
The rubber cones are about 1.25 inches in diameter...but key is how are they disassembled ?
Thank you
Any luck, starting on one now and need to replace the two control drive discs. I have had no luck locating and will need to manufacture them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Does anyone have a spare shaft with cones on it? I'm thinking that maybe they can be printed using TPU material, which is rubbery, like some shock resistant phone cases.
However, I do not want to rip mine or anyone else's apart, so I'm looking for that shaft out of someones junk parts bin. I'll buy it, or whatever. I've had maybe four or five of these over the years, and every one has the same issue.
MTH uses the same design, but does not sell just that part.
Seems like a lot of us would like to resolve this issue.
