8 SAFETY OF FLIGHT AND SERVICE DIFFICULTY REPORTING


Please report any service difficulties or any other issue relating to flight safety directly to Cub
Crafters using the online form.

9 SAFETY DIRECTIVES FOR CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS


In the event of an aircraft component failure, defect, or other discrepancy, contact Cub Crafters
Customer Support via e-mail, phone, or fax.
If the problem relates to a safety of flight or is a significant service issue, use the Continued
Operational Safety Reporting form available on the Owner Support page of the Cub Crafters
website to initiate corrective action.
9.1 TYPES OF SAFETY DIRECTIVES
When corrective action has been determined to be warranted, Cub Crafters will issue a safety
directive to all owner/operators within the current database. All Service Documents for this
aircraft may be found on the Cub Crafters website. These directives will be classified in four
different categories:
 SAFETY ALERT – The safety alert is a directive that relates to safety of flight and requires
immediate action. Compliance is required.
 SERVICE BULLETIN – A service bulletin is a directive which does not require immediate
action; however, an action is required on the part of the customer for the continued
operational safety of the product and compliance is required.
 SERVICE INSTRUCTION – Information that does not necessarily recommend a future
action but is relevant to the aircraft and may include product improvements or information
from vendors. Compliance is optional.
 SERVICE LETTER – A notification may not recommend any action but is provided as a
method of disseminating information relating to the continued airworthiness of the aircraft.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

9.2 MANDATORY SAFETY DIRECTIVES


When a safety directive has been issued which requires mandatory action, it is the
owner/operator’s responsibility to ensure that the directive is fully complied with to allow the
continued safe operation of the aircraft. Cub Crafters, Inc. assumes no responsibility for
problems arising from non-compliance with such directives.
10 GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
There are many hazards inherently present when performing any maintenance task on this
aircraft. To minimize the risk to both yourself and others, begin by thinking through each task
that is to be performed before starting any work. Use common sense to think of ways to avoid
these hazards. Remember that many accidents happen because of carelessness. Be sure to
use the right tool for the task at hand and to use the proper personal protective equipment. Such
equipment may include, but is not limited to:
 Eye protection – safety glasses, goggles, or face shield
 Gloves
 Hearing protection – ear plugs or muffs
 Apron
 Protective footwear with non-slip soles
You should also keep on hand a suitable fire extinguisher, absorbent material to contain spills,
an eyewash bottle, and a general-purpose first aid kit. It is also advisable to have on hand the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) for all products and chemicals that will be used during the
servicing of the aircraft.
Some other general rules to follow are:
 Never leave the ignition switch turned on when the engine is not running. Doing so could
allow the engine to fire if the propeller were rotated by hand.
 Never operate the engine with untrained personnel around – everyone who is essential
to be in the area should be reminded that a spinning propeller may be lethal yet almost
invisible. Remove hats when running the engine to keep them from being removed by
the propeller slipstream.
 Remove any loose clothing, such as neckties and scarves. Tuck in your shirt and secure
any long hair to prevent them from becoming tangled in power tools.
 Remove all jewelry. Not only can items such as rings, watches, and necklaces become
caught in rotating tools, they can also conduct electricity and may cause a short circuit.
This could result in burns or damage to electrical circuits.
 Disconnect the negative lead from the battery when doing any electrical work that does
not involve troubleshooting the electrical systems. This will reduce the risk of a short
circuit or even a fire.
 The lead acid battery will emit hydrogen gas when charging, which is highly flammable.
Any nearby source of ignition such as sparks or an open flame can result in an
explosion. Keep all ignition sources away from the battery.
 Aviation gasoline is also highly flammable. When working with the fuel system, always
work in a well-ventilated environment. Any nearby source of ignition such as sparks or
an open flame can result in a fire or explosion. Keep all ignition sources away. Always
ground the airframe to a suitable earth ground during fueling/defueling operations to
reduce the risk of a static discharge ignition source.
 When working with the landing gear, always support the aircraft properly with jacks. Do
not work underneath the aircraft unless it is properly supported.

This guide will make reference to service information provided by other vendors, such as the
manufacturer of the engine. The persons performing the maintenance on the aircraft must
ensure that they have the latest editions of these publications. This guide will not make
reference to revision levels of vendor publications.
This template may not cover custom modifications made to the aircraft.

2 INSPECTION GROUPS AND CRITERIA

A. VISUAL INSPECTION
Visual inspections will normally apply to those areas, surfaces, and/or items that become visible
by the removal or opening of access doors, panels, fairings, or cowlings.
Visual Inspection criteria will normally consist of, but are not limited to the following criteria:
§ Moving Parts: Proper operation, correct alignment, security, sealing, cleanliness,
lubrication, adjustment, tension, travel, condition, binding, excessive wear, cracking,
corrosion, deformation, and any other apparent damage.
§ Fabric Covered Parts: Security, condition, cleanliness, wear, cracking, obstruction of
drainage or vent holes, deformation, heat deterioration, fluid saturation, and any other
apparent damage.
§ Metal Parts: Security, condition of finish, cleanliness, distortion, fatigue cracks, cracked
welds, corrosion, and any other apparent damage.
§ Fuel and Hydraulic Oil Lines and Hoses: Cracks, dents, kinks, loss of flexibility,
deterioration, obstruction, chaffing, improper bend radius, cleanliness, security, and any
other apparent damage.
§ Electrical Wiring: Cleanliness, loose, corroded, or broken terminals, chaffed, broken, or
worn insulation, security, heat deterioration, and any other apparent damage.
§ Bolts and Nuts: Fretting, wear, damage, stretch, proper torque and safety wiring.
§ Filters and Screens: Filters and screens shall be removed, cleaned, inspected for
contamination, or replaced as applicable.
§ Fuel Tank Areas: Evidence of leaks.
Inspection forms in Appendix A may be used as a guide to perform the visual inspections.

B. OPERATIONAL INSPECTION
An operational inspection is a check intended to determine that a component or system is
fulfilling its intended purpose. The operational inspection does not require quantitative
tolerances.

05-00
Page: 6
C. FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION
When called for by an inspection task, a functional inspection is a quantitative check to
determine if one or more functions of a component perform within specified limits. The functional
inspection is a comparative examination of a component or system against a specific standard.

NOTE
The operational and functional checks involve operating the engine and taxiing the aircraft.
Therefore, whoever performs this check must be familiar with the aircraft, its systems, and the
risks and dangers of operating an aircraft on the ground. Attention is drawn to the fact that
this aircraft has a tail wheel configuration and its behavior during taxiing is different from an
aircraft with a nose gear. The operator must be familiar with taxiing a tailwheel aircraft before
attempting to perform these checks.

During the check, observe engine temperatures limitations.

2 WEIGHING

A. GENERAL
This section describes the methods for determining the empty weight of the aircraft and the
position of its center of gravity relative to the datum.
Weight and balance limits are placed on aircraft for two reasons:
§ First, the structure was designed to carry a certain weight;
§ Second, the operating weight of the aircraft and the position of the center of gravity
affect performance, stability, and control characteristics, particularly in stall and spin
recovery.
The aircraft will only attain the performance and exhibit the handling characteristics if it is flown
when the weight and the center of gravity are within the approved range.
Have a set of calibrated weighing scales available. The capacity should be 1,000 lbs. for each
main and 250 lbs. for the tail. Zero the scales or record the tare, as appropriate.

B. PREPARATION
(a) Clean the aircraft to remove excess dirt and grease.
(b) Remove the fuel from the aircraft. This may be accomplished by opening the fuel
drains until all remaining fuel is drained.
• Standard range fuel tanks should retain one gallon unusable fuel total.
• Extended range fuel tanks should retain five gallons unusable fuel total.
(c) Check that the oil is full.
(d) Position the pilot’s seat in the middle position.

(b) Place weighing pads under the front wheels.


(c) Place the jacks for the rear wheels on weighing pads.
(d) Level the aircraft per Section 1 of this Chapter.
(e) Measure the arm for the front and rear wheels. This is to be done by dropping a plumb
bob off the left and right leading edge of the wing and marking these locations on the
floor. Draw a line on the floor between these points. Then, measure the longitudinal
distance from the center each of the nose and main wheels to the line. The leading edge
of the wing is located at Fuselage Station 60.0.

be used when servicing the airplane. For additional detailed information concerning unit
servicing of the various airplane systems and components, refer to the applicable chapters.
The intervals specified are considered adequate to meet average requirements under normal
operating conditions. However, it is advisable to shorten the service and maintenance intervals
when operating under abnormal environmental conditions, such as high humidity and moisture,
salt water environments, dusty atmospheric conditions, extreme temperature ranges,
unimproved airport facilities, or other unusual operating requirements. In salt water areas,
special care should be taken to keep the engine, accessories, and airframe clean to help
prevent oxidation.
CAUTION
The operation of the airplane can be seriously impaired if unapproved or
contaminated fuel, oil, fluids, lubricants or materials are used. Adherence to
instructions, cautions, and warnings can avoid injury to personnel and damage
to the airplane or associated equipment.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

1 GENERAL
This chapter gives the requirements for torquing fasteners. No lubricating or anti-seize
compounds are to be applied to threaded fasteners except where specified. At the time of
installation, the threads must be clean and free of corrosion, paint or any products other than
those applied by the fastener’s manufacturer.

2 DEFINITIONS
Running Torque: The average torque developed after the fastener is at least one full thread
through the nut, but prior to the tightening of the joint (also called self-locking torque, locking
torque, friction drag torque).
Assembly Torque: The torque required by design engineering in order to create the desired
axial load on the bolt/nut assembly (also called tightening torque or installation torque).

3 TORQUING REQUIREMENT
Whenever possible, the nut shall be turned during torquing. Where it is necessary to tighten the
fastener assembly from the head, the installation torque shall be the maximum torque indicated
+ 10 percent.

NOTE
This is only applicable for fasteners greater than 3/16” in diameter.

When nuts are to be secured to fasteners by means of cotter pins or lock wire, the low side of
the specified torque range shall be approached for tightening. If necessary, tightening shall be
continued until the next slot aligns with the hole.
Nuts shall not be loosened to obtain the required alignment. The maximum torque shall not be
exceeded.
Threaded fasteners which have been torqued above the maximum value specified shall not be
backed off and re-torqued but shall be removed, rejected and rendered unserviceable.
If there is any doubt a fastener has been under-torqued, the nut shall be backed off one
complete rotation (360°) maximum and retightened to the specified value; the bolt, screw or stud
must not be allowed to rotate.

4 USE OF TORQUE WRENCHES AND ADAPTERS


All final torquing shall be carried out with certified torque wrenches or torque screwdrivers.
When adapters or extensions are used on manually operated torque wrenches, they shall be
aligned as shown in Figure 1 and the dial reading required shall be calculated from the following
formula:
Dial Reading = Specified Torque x L
L + L1
A = fulcrum point of handle
B = center line of wrench drive
C = center line of adaptor or extension drive
L = distance from the fulcrum point to the handle to the center line of wrench drive
L1 = distance from center line of the wrench drive to center line of adaptor or extension drive

Page: 5
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Figure 1 – Use of Torque Wrenches

Dimensions must be measured in the same units (i.e. both in inches, both in feet, etc.) for each
calculation. Different units must not be mixed.

5 TORQUING PATTERNS
Whenever applicable, the following patterns must be followed when torquing fasteners:

1 GENERAL
The flight controls consist of ailerons, rudder, elevators, and flaps. The aircraft has conventional
ailerons that are operated with a control stick and actuated with cables. The flap and aileron
control surfaces have an aluminium structure and are covered with aluminium sheet. The rudder
and elevator control surfaces have a steel tube structure and are covered with fabric. The
rudder is operated with two rudder pedals on the floor just aft of the firewall. If equipped, the
passenger’s control stick and rudder pedals are interconnected with the pilot’s.

The flaps are operated mechanically by moving a lever located in the upper, left-hand side of
the cockpit ahead of the pilot. The flaps are slotted and have four detent positions: retracted,
first notch, second notch, and full flaps. The flap lever has a spring latch system that holds the
flap in the selected position. To extend the flaps, depress the trigger and then move the lever
down. To retract them, depress the trigger while simultaneously applying a slight back pressure.
Smoothly move the handle forward and release the trigger.

The aircraft is trimmed in flight by changing the stabilizer’s angle of incidence. The pitch trim is
controlled by an electric servo, which moves the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer up or
down. The servo is actuated with a rocker switch located on the front control stick. Some aircraft
are also equipped with an aft control stick rocker switch. If equipped with rear seat trim, there
will be a selector switch (with center off) for the trim switch in the upper left wing root.

The control surfaces of the aircraft must be rigged within the prescribed limits in order to
maintain adequate margins of safety. This chapter specifies the procedures that must be used
to rig the flight control surfaces.

3 PREPARATORY PROCEDURE
Prior to rigging and setting the travels of all control surfaces, ensure that the aircraft is level, the
empennage is rigged correctly, and that the dihedral and washout are correct.
A. LEVELING
Level the aircraft per Chapter 08.
B. EMPENNAGE RIGGING
(1) VERTICAL FIN
Plumb the vertical fin at the rudder hinges. If the fin is not vertical, check that the aircraft is level.
If fin is still not vertical, adjust the tension of the top and/or bottom tail brace wires to ensure the
stabilizers are level and the fin is vertical.
(2) HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
The tail brace wires must be tensioned in such a fashion to ensure that the horizontal stabilizers
remain horizontal and the fin remains vertical.
(a) Level the stabilizer laterally at the rear spars by adjusting the bracing wires.
(b) Place elevator trim in the center of the takeoff position.
(c) Adjust the tension of the upper tail brace wires to obtain 7/16” to 9/16” (.44”
to .56”) deflection when a load of 10 pounds plus or minus 0.5 pound is applied
at right angles at the center of the wire.
(d) The rear spar of the stabilizer must be level; the elevator hinge line must remain
straight. The tolerance is plus or minus 0.5 degrees.
(e) Ensure that the fin remains vertical at the rudder hinge center line and the rear
spar straight. The tolerance is plus or minus 0.5 degrees.
(3) RECORD
Record the following:
• Verification that the fin is vertical
• Horizontal stabilizers are horizontal
• Load and deflection of top wires
• Position of elevator trim

C. DIHEDRAL AND WASHOUT


Set the dihedral and washout per Chapter 57.

E. GAP SEALS
(1) PREPARATION

(a) Carefully clean the gap between the horizontal stabilizer and elevators and the
fin and rudder with soap and water to remove any grease or grit. If a solvent is
used, ensure it is approved for the type of finish on the aircraft.
(b) Cut two strips of seal 39½ inches long. These will be used for the inboard portion
of the elevators. Cut two strips 11 ½ inches long. These will be used of the
outboard portion of the elevators.
(c) Cut one strip of seal 33 inches long if no navigation light wire is present or cut
one strip of seal 27 ⅝ inches long if the navigation light wire is present. A 6 ½
inch long piece may be installed below the navigation light wire to prevent the
upper piece from slipping down over time. Cut a 5 ½ inch piece for above the
upper rudder hinge.
NOTE
Cut lengths are longer than necessary to account for shrinkage of gap seal material.

(2) INSTALLATION

(a) Press the long elevator seals into the gap between the hinges (see Figure 11).
Either flat edge may be on top. Make sure that the seals are evenly spaced
between the hinges. Rubbing alcohol may be used to ease installation.
(b) Ensure each gap seal butts against each hinge. Inspect both the top and the
bottom to ensure the gap seal is flat and the lip is not folded in at any point.
(c) Carefully press the short elevator seals between the hinge and the elevator
horn. Either flat edge may be on top.
(d) Be especially careful to ensure that the seals do not impede the travel of the
elevator throughout its range of travel.

Figure 11 – Installing Elevator Gap Seal between the Hinges

flap and flap handle bell crank. Adjust flap such that the lower surface is 46.0°
±1.0° relative to the horizontal reference line of the aircraft as established during
longitudinal leveling (see Figure 19).

NOTE
The flap push/pull rod has opposite thread directions on either end, so length adjustments can
be made simply by rotating the rod if the jam nuts are loosened.

(c) Verify flap deflection at two points along the flap to check for twist. The deflection
at both points is to be within the specified tolerances in Table 1
(d) Verify that the 0°, 16°, and 33° positions are within the tolerances listed in Table

neutral. Verify correct cable tension. Verify that the system operates without
binding.
(g) CCK/CCX-1865 ONLY: With the ailerons and stick at neutral, center the aileron
stop plate with the aft mast. Verify that the mast arm makes contact with the stop
plate when the aileron is at the extent of its deflection. Aileron deflection should
be UP +18° ± 2°, and DOWN -18° ± 2°.
(h) CCK/CCX-2000 ONLY: From under the belly, adjust the aileron stop bolts to
ensure that the mast arm makes contact when the aileron is at the extent of its
deflection. Place level on upper surface of aileron to verify proper deflection.
Aileron deflection should be UP +18° ± 2°, and DOWN -18° ± 2°.

H. STALL WARNING SYSTEM


The stall warning system is electrically powered and is made up of a horn and an actuating
switch. The horn is mounted in the left wing root panel and the switch is on the leading edge of
the left wing. As the stall condition progresses, the air stream lifts the switch vane, closing the
circuit and activating the horn.
(1) STALL WARNING SWITCH ADJUSTMENT
The stall horn should be activated at a speed that is no less than 6 MPH prior to the stall
occurring in any configuration. However, the stall warning should not come on so often that it
becomes a nuisance.

Figure 24 – Stall Warning Vane


(a) Refer to Figure 24. Loosen the screws and slide the switch up or down. Down will
cause the horn to activate earlier and up will cause the horn to activate later.
(b) Tighten the screws in the desired position.
(c) See Chapter 91 Electrical Systems Schematics for system details.

Page: 4
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The fuel system has a sump and drain located in the bottom right side of the fuselage aft of the
door opening. Some aircraft have an additional sump and drain located on the bottom left side
of the aircraft just aft of the firewall. These should be drained before each flight to test for water
and sediment in the fuel system.
The fuel system is as follows:
§ CCK/CCX-1865: The fuel system is a gravity flow system with no separate boost pump.
Fuel drains from the wing tanks through a selector valve and fuel strainer to the
carburetor.
§ CCK/CCX-2000: Fuel is stored in two fuel tanks located in the wing. Fuel flows from
these tanks to a fuel selector valve which allows the pilot to turn the fuel on and off and
select which tank to draw fuel from. From the fuel selector valve the fuel flows through a
gascolator, a fuel filter, an electric fuel pump, a mechanical fuel pump, a pressure
transducer, and through a fuel metering device (servo). The fuel metering device
provides the appropriate amount of fuel for the air quantity flowing into the engine. From
the fuel metering device, the fuel flows through a fuel flow transducer and then onto the
individual engine cylinders.

Fuel may flow from one tank to the other when the selector is in either the OFF or the BOTH
position. When parking the aircraft on a slope, leave the selector on either the left or the right
position to prevent cross feeding and possibly overfilling the lower of the two tanks.
CCK/CCX-1865 is equipped with an engine fuel primer system that may be used to start the
engine, especially in cold conditions. The fuel primer draws fuel from the strainer by means of a
hand-operated pump on the instrument panel and injects it into cylinder #3 for starting.
The fuel flows from the tanks into a selector valve that has four positions and is located on the
lower, left side of the cockpit:
§ Both - The engine is fed by both fuel tanks
§ Left - Fuel is supplied by the left tank
§ Right - Fuel is supplied by the right tank
§ Off - Fuel supply to the engine is cut off
The engine may be operated in the Both, Left, or Right positions. However, the Both position is
required for takeoff and landing.
Fuel quantity is determined with two sight gauges located on either side of the cockpit at the
wing root. The ventilation of the tanks is through tubes located on each of the fuel tank caps.
The vented caps must face forward.
Prior to refueling the aircraft, connect the fueling equipment’s grounding wire to either of the
wing tie downs or the engine exhaust pipe. This will ensure there is no electrical potential
difference between the aircraft and the fueling equipment and will minimize the risk of electrical
sparks when the aircraft is being refueled.

4 SERVICING

A. DRAINING FUEL
The aircraft may have three fuel drains, one on the right underside of the fuselage, one on the
fuel strainer, located on the engine firewall, and one on the bottom left side of the fuselage, just
aft of the firewall on the boot cowl.

CAUTION
Observe all precautions related to fueling and de-fueling the aircraft. In particular,
the following are highlighted:
§ Connect grounding wire to one of the wing tie-downs and ground the aircraft
to an earth ground.
§ Do not operate any electrical equipment during the de-fueling operation.
§ Operation of any electrical switch during the fueling operation is prohibited.
§ Do not allow smoking or open flames within 100 feet of the aircraft or fuel
servicing vehicle.
§ Do not operate radios, electrical systems, or electronic equipment during the
fueling or de-fueling operations.
§ Do not drain fuel tanks within 100 feet of any electrical equipment capable of
producing sparks.
§ Have a suitable fire extinguisher available at all times.
(a) If your aircraft does not have the additional drain, jack the tail of the aircraft to flight
level attitude (Chapter 7 and 8).
(b) Open the fuel strainer drain valve(s) and allow fuel to drain into container.
(c) If the fuel has been drained and the aircraft has then been re-fueled, the engine must
be run on the ground for enough time to purge the system of air prior to flight.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4 MAIN WHEELS
The main wheels are of aluminum construction and are designed to be used with tires and tubes.
Each main wheel is provided with a set of single disc brakes. The left and right systems are
independent of each other. There is a valve at the front of each rudder pedal that operates the
parking brake. The units form an integral part with the copilot’s rudder brakes. To operate the
parking brake, press the upper section of both rudder pedals and toggle the valve (vertical is
open, horizontal is locked). The master cylinders push hydraulic fluid to the calipers where two
pistons are displaced and force the brake pads against a disc. Each main wheel utilizes a
hydraulic caliper, secured by a backing plate.
The tailwheel swivels through 360 degrees and is steerable via the rudder pedals. It is mounted
to the fuselage with steel spring leafs. Refer to Chapter 12 of this manual for maintenance and
servicing of the wheel and brake assemblies.

The map light is mounted on the right hand interior wing root panel. It is an LED connected to
the aircraft’s power. No maintenance tasks are expected. Note that the map light turns on with
the Nav lights and has a high/low/white selector switch adjacent on the wing root panel.

3 LANDING AND TAXI LIGHTS


The landing/taxi light consists of one PAR 36 LED type lamp mounted in the left wing leading
edge. A similar landing light is available as an option for the right wing. The light is covered with
a Plexiglas lens the same shape of the leading edge. A breaker switch on the instrument panel
turns on the light.
A. REMOVAL
(a) Remove six screws holding the lens in place, breaking the silicone seal. Remove the
lens.
(b) Remove two screws and the lamp assembly. Disconnect wiring.
B. INSTALLATION
(a) Attach wiring; note the polarity must be correct for the LED light. Reposition front
mounting plate and secure with two screws.
(b) Reattach the lens. Use care not to crack the Plexiglas. Use silicone as required to
reseal the lens in place.

1 GENERAL
This section covers the Pitot and Static systems. These systems provide the information
required by the airspeed indicator, the altimeter, the vertical speed indicator and the altitude
encoder.
The pitot system senses dynamic pressure through a tube that is aligned with the flow of air and
is located under the left wing or the leading edge of the left front jury strut.
The static pressure ports are located on both sides of the fuselage, on the boot cowl. There are
two ports to counteract the effects of yaw.

3 MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

A. ATC TRANSPONDER TEST


A transponder test is required every 24 calendar months in accordance with 14 CFR 91.413.

B. ALTIMETER STATIC SYSTEM TEST AND INSPECTION


Static system tests must comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 91.411 and be performed by
a rated repair station with the appropriate test equipment. A static leak test should be
accomplished whenever a connection has been loosened or an instrument replaced.

C. STATIC SYSTEM LEAK TEST


Connect the test equipment directly to a static port and seal off the opposite static port with
plastic tape.
CAUTION
Do not blow air through the line toward the instrument panel. This may seriously
damage the instruments.
Apply a vacuum equivalent to 1,000 feet altitude, (differential pressure of approximately 1.07
inches of mercury or 14.5 inches of water) and hold. After 1 minute, check that a leak has not
exceeded the equivalent of 100 feet of altitude (decrease in differential pressure of
approximately 0.0105 inches of mercury or 1.43 inches of water). Unseal the static port and
disconnect the equipment.

D. PITOT SYSTEM LEAK CHECK


CAUTION
Do not apply suction to pitot lines.
Seal the drain hole on the bottom of the pitot tube and connect the pitot pressure opening to a
tee to which a source of pressure and manometer or reliable indicator is connected.
Restrain the hoses to prevent them from moving excessively when the pressure is applied.
Apply pressure until the airspeed indicator indicates 100 MPH. (87 KTS) (equivalent to a
differential pressure 1.1 inches of mercury or 14.9 inches of water). Hold this pressure and
clamp off from the source of pressure. After 1 minute, the leakage should not exceed 10 MPH.
(8.7 KTS) (decrease in differential pressure of approximately 0.15 inches of mercury or 2.04
inches of water). If the airspeed indicator reading declines, check the system for leaky hoses
and loose connections.
CAUTION
To avoid rupturing the diaphragm of the airspeed indicator, apply pressure slowly and
do not build up excessive pressure in the line. Release pressure slowly to avoid
damaging the airspeed indicator.
Inspect the hoses for signs of deterioration, particularly at bends and at the connection points to
the pitot mast and airspeed indicator. Replace any hoses that are cracked or hardened. Any
time a hose is replaced, perform a pressure check. Unseal the drain hole and disconnect the
equipment when leak check is complete.

3 RIGGING THE WINGS

A. PREPARATION
The aircraft must be level longitudinally and laterally prior to setting or adjusting the dihedral or
the washout angles. Refer to the leveling procedure described in Chapter 8.

B. DIHEDRAL ANGLE

Figure 4 – Dihedral Angle and Washout

57-00
Page: 10
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(a) Remove the front wing root fairings.


(b) Stretch a string from wing tip to wing tip above the front spar and pull tight and
secure.
(c) Measure down from the string to the top of the inboard edge of the front spar cap
(Figure 4). The measurement should be 3 inches ± 0.13 (1/8) inches. This
adjustment is accomplished by turning the forks of the lower end of the front strut
in or out.
(d) To determine that each wing panel has the same dihedral, hold a straightedge on
the end of a 30-inch level so that one end of the straightedge protrudes 0.41
(13/32) of an inch above the level (see Figure 4). Place the level combination
along the front spar bottom between the lift strut and jury strut attachment fittings
as illustrated in Figure 4. The bubble should be approximately centered. Check
the opposite wing panel in the same manner.
(e) If the dihedral angle is not equal for both wing panels, adjust the threaded fork on
the lower end of the front strut until dihedral angle is the same. Recheck the total
dihedral and readjust as necessary.
(f) Record the actual results in the aircraft logbook.
(g) NOTE: Rigging of the wings is not complete until the washout angle is set.

57-00
Page: 11
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

C. WASHOUT ANGLE
(a) Check the washout of each wing by holding a straightedge on the end of a 30-inch
level so that one end of the straightedge protrudes 0.38 (3/8) inches above the level
(see Figure 4). Place this combination along the bottom surface of the full rib next to
the outboard end of the aileron. The level end with straightedge space should fit to
the rear of the rib while the other end of the level should be placed under the front
spar.
(b) To obtain the proper washout, adjust the threaded fork at the lower end of the rear
strut at the fuselage end until the bubble is centered.
(c) Repeat on the opposite wing if needed.
(d) Record the actual results in the aircraft logbook.

CAUTION
There should not be more than 15 threads exposed on the lift strut forks.

4 VORTEX GENERATORS
Each wing has 36 vortex generators on the top leading edge. The aircraft is allowed to fly with
the following number of vortex generators missing:
§ Not more than 3 vortex generators missing on an aircraft.
§ Not more than 2 vortex generators missing on a wing.
§ The missing vortex generators must not be next to each other.
If a vortex generator should fall off, it must be glued on at the same location as follows:
(a) Ensure that the area where the vortex generator fell off is dry and free of grease
and dirt.

NOTE
If the color of the vortex generator does not match the aircraft, it is advisable to paint the
exposed part of the vortex generator prior to installation.

(b) Clean the bottom surface of the vortex generator, removing any old adhesive.
(c) Mask off the rectangular footprint of the vortex generator.
(d) Reattach the vortex generator with Loctite Depend® glue.
(e) Remove masking and wipe off excess glue with cleaner.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

4 AIR INDUCTION
The induction air for the engine enters through a filter on the lower forward side of the cowling.
Attention is drawn to the fact that operation under severe dust conditions will require shorter air
filter replacement intervals. These conditions may be encountered in aircraft operating from
dusty areas.
CCK/CCX-1865 has an alternate carburetor heat control, which operates a butterfly valve that
allows heated, unfiltered air to feed into the carburetor. The carburetor heat control is located on
the instrument panel. Should the air filter become obstructed, the carburetor air control provides
an alternate manual means of supplying the engine with air for the induction system.

CAUTION
Ground operations with the carburetor heat control in the hot position must be limited
because it allows air to bypass the filter. (CCK/CCX-1865 Only)

CCK/X-2000 has an alternate air system that consists of an alternate air door behind
the air filter grate, and ducting leading to that door and to the exhaust system. The
alternate air door opens automatically whenever the primary air filter becomes
obstructed.

1 SPARK PLUGS
A. REMOVAL AND INSPECTION
Remove spark plug caps and spark plugs. Inspect the firing end of the spark plugs for any
foreign material lodged between electrodes or around the insulator that could be conductive,
clean as required.
Check the electrode gap per the manufacturer specifications and re-set if necessary. Check
connector for any abnormalities and clean if needed. Refer to the latest revision of Light Speed
Engineering, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL For PLASMA III, II+, and I CDI
SYSTEMS

B. INSTALLATION
Apply a small amount of Spark Plug Thread Lubricant to the threaded area of each spark plug at
the firing end. Install the plugs and torque to 15 ft/lb. Connect the spark plug caps.

2 ELECTRONIC IGNITION
The ignition system on the engine uses two Plasma III ignition modules (from Light Speed
Engineering) and a DC Mini Sensor system with magnets in the ring gear to provide the triggers
for timing. The cylinder firing order is 1,3,2,4.
The dual system is connected such that each system knows if the other one is operating. If one
of the two systems is turned off or has failed, the remaining system will automatically shift its
timing curve to provide optimum engine performance with one system. This eliminates the
common power loss when one magneto is turned off. The wide operating voltage range, from
5v-35v allows hand starting long after the electric starter has stopped due to a low battery. Refer
to Chapter 24 for Ignition Backup Battery information.

B. INSPECTION
Inspect the components of the exhaust system for signs of cracking. Any cracks must be
repaired, or if the cracking is excessive, replace the exhaust system component(s).

WARNING
CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WILL ALLOW CARBON MONOXIDE TO BE
PRESENT INSIDE THE COWL. FUMES MAY TRAVEL THROUGH THE FIREWALL
INTO THE COCKPIT. CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION CAN CAUSE DEATH.
NEVER OPERATE THE AIRCRAFT WITH ANY CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST
SYSTEM.

C. INSTALLATION
Install the exhaust system in the reverse order from which it was removed. Replace the gaskets
on the exhaust flanges and on the induction elbows. Torque the exhaust flange nuts to 90 in-lbs.

D. SUPPLEMENTARY AIR
The aircraft is equipped with a cabin heat system. Hot air for heating the cabin is supplied by a
heat exchanger located around the engine exhaust. Hot air enters the cabin through openings
on the floorboard. To select the heater, the control on the instrument panel must be pulled aft.
CCK/CCX-2000 aircraft are also equipped with rear seat heat and defrost. There are two
additional controls on the instrument panel: one to select defrost or rear seat heat, and another
to turn it off and on. To turn on, the control must be pulled aft.
