Hub Bearings R4A or S1K

Post by bryancobb »

Hey Guys:

I've only put 15 hours on my ship since a new T/R hub in which I installed 4 new "Hub-Teter" bearings. Already there seems to be a slight detent developing around the centered falpping position. It can slightly be felt during preflight when you "see-saw" the blades back and forth. The bearings were cleaned and pre-packed w/Aeroshell#14 before careful installation. Has anyone experienced similar situation?
Thanks: Bryan
