DF 1000 Outhaul repair
Posted: Thu 09 Oct 14, 17:52
My DF 1000 outhaul crank needs new bushings, or so I suspect.
It used to be adjustable in all but high winds without a problem, but now the aft crank retainer hole doesn't line up enough to insert the crank end in even medium wind.
The crank just goes through the boom with a cotter key and washer on the end. I have not yet tried disassembling it due to inclement weather.
My question is, how do you disconnect / reconnect the outhaul cable from the crank?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
