Cowl Flap Motors--GOOD NEWS for a change

[Dale Campbell]

If you can not clean the motors yourself, it is good to have someone to do it for you. I had both my front and rear slow down and then quit, do to gummy motor brushes. I pulled both cleaned with electrical cleaner and put back on during annual. That was 5 years ago and they still work fine. That cost me nothing.

Thanks Dale,

Turns out that my motor needed exactly as you say. My shop cleaned up the motor, cleaned and lubricated the gears and all is well. Hopefully this works for another 35+ years. ;o)

Also, as for Mr. Bena, it sounds as if his health has been ailing for the past few months. Several folks at my home airport spoke well of his services so my guess would be that the problem that Kelly had could have possibly been caused by Mr. Bena's health concerns. My hope is that he recovers!

Thanks,

Ed
