Convenient kits include bearings and all attaching hardware
Kits for aircraft equipped with and without hinge modification service kits
One elevator kit and one rudder kit required per aircraft
Industry standard hardware
Cessna has issued several non-mandatory service bulletins and service kits for the rudder and elevator hinge bearings on the Caravan due to a corrosion issue with the needle bearing. The service kits require modification to the hinge structure, not just the bearing itself. The new bearing is a different size than the "original" design, so the mounting hardware is different as well. Because of these structural changes any aircraft that has had the service kits installed cannot use hardware from a non-service kit aircraft. McFarlane offers two kits for each surface, one for service kit equipped aircraft and one for non-service kit equipped aircraft.
Note: Please click "View Eligible Aircraft" to verify kit eligibility for aircraft with and without hinge modification service kits.
Best priced around great and speedy service!
Also is the better of the 2 options since it is rated at 5,000 psi, not that I go to that high of pressure but I like the safety and security knowing that my chances of it blowing up in my face are a whole lot better and I can also purchase replacement seals for them at the same shop!!!
I bought the DC PTT because I know and trust the DC quality/durability to hold up to using every day. And so far it’s the best PTT I’ve used. I have a couple other no-name PTTs and the cable sheathing is crumbling and falling off. The DC PTT has worked even in sub zero cabin temp conditions when I didn’t have a functioning heater. I bought two to have a spare but the first one has been working great for 300hrs so far.
