EXTERIOR SKIN - Run your peepers over the skin. Make sure there is no gap between the boom and fuselage at the boom attaching point.

STABILIZERS, TAil ROTOR TRANSMISSION, ROTOR HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL STABILIZERS, STRUT - Obvious damage? Attaching bolts rotated, loose?

TAil ROTOR GEAR BOX - Secure. No oil leaks, cracks, nicks, pits or corrosion. Eye sight plug for proper oil level. Make with the Mll-l23699, il needed. UNKS

TAil ROTOR PITCH CONTROL ROD, PITCH CONTROL LINKS- Check rod at the gear box and links at the rotor for excessive bearing wear (O.04O-in max axial looseness) freedom of movement and security.

TAIL ROTOR BLADES, HUB, PITCH CONTROL LINKAGE- Look for obvious damage. Hand-

turn the rotor a few times and listen for unusual sounds - feel for any binding. Follow the inspection poop in para 8-30 of the maintenance pub.

MAI N ROTOR BLADE DAMPERS- To prevent severe damage to the main rotor head check for right phasing. Check between flights if you think the phase was changed by ground handling. Check by hol ding the tail rotor and pulling each main rotor blade into the lead position of the damper's low stage (lowest friction sector).

LANDING GEAR REAR SHOCK DAMPERS - Stand back and eye your bird. If she has a nose-high, up-ish look about her, she's got leaking dampers that need to be replaced. Be sure to check the upper attachment fuselage fittings ... they take it on the chin when a bird is dropped in from ump-teen feet.

ENGINE - Eagle-eye the whole shebang for loose bolts, broken or loose connections. Check the accessories for tightness and broken or missing lockwire. look for fuel and oil leaks. Run your dukes over the oil cooler and the cooler deflectors for tightness. Check fuel and oil lines for chafing.

You can no more tell players without a score card than you can tell the condi· tion of a bird part without a tag or label- that's for sure. So, gone is the practice of using unauthorized tags, plain tags or no tags at all. To the rescue comes TB 750·126 (22 May 67) with materiel condition tags and labels for aeronautical and air delivery equipment. The little gems supplement TM 38·750 forms to identify the part, give its condition, useage factor, inspection due, modification needed and a reference to DA Form 2410. How important are these tags and labels? Well, tagged parts in supply gives you the score at a glance. They save umpteen hours of opening containers and unnecessary tear down time ... much moola. Here's how the five tags and labels stack· up.
