Kenny Keller shows how to check a sprag clutch: run the engine to 75% power, roll back the throttle, and add right pedal to keep the aircraft from rotating on slick surfaces. He shares a story about a tail swing near gas pumps and offers a free PDF guide at Hogsguide.com.
Test our sprag clutch. We're going to go up to 75% and then we're going to roll back. We have a needle split. We don't have. There's a tip for you. You rolled off the throttle, but didn't you? I didn't add right pedal. Pedal, absolutely. You're from Florida. People from Florida don't usually do this because they're not worried about it. In the northern part of the country, it's standard for us year round. We roll the throttle off for that sprag clutch check. We add right pedal because the aircraft on a slick surface will, can and will rotate on you. We have a video where Hauser was in an instrument and when they did it on a slick surface, they rolled the throttle off by the gas pumps. The tail came around, almost hit the gas pumps. Wow. It's a real thing. So. Well, now we know. If you're coming to the northern states, it's a good idea. Add a little bit of right pedal. A little bit of right pedal when you roll the throttle off to keep it from spinning. Fabulous. Our doors are latched and unlocked and we have a free maneuver guide. Hogsguide.
