EAA Tools has announced the launch of its Flight Control Rig & Accessory Kit and its Comprehensive Special Tool Kit, which are both to be featured at HAI Heli-Expo in Anaheim, California.
EAA Tools’ Flight Control Rig & Accessory Kit is a new, improved and updated replacement for the legacy Flight Control Rig Set. The updated product, FCRK-60-AA, will include improved materials on all rig pins, customer-driven feature improvements to all accessories, and an entirely new product to set each rod precisely to its nominal length before installation.
EAA’s Comprehensive Special Tool Kit, COMP-60-AA, is a 90 percent solution for the scheduled phase maintenance inspection. EAA Tools has carefully configured the COMP-60-AA kit (basic and plus sub-kits) out of its unique individual tools and a selection of commercially available products.
The COMP kit is designed and packaged in a deployable configuration, using rugged military-grade containers and dense pack military-standard foam with shadowed offset colors (black over red) for ease of inventory and foreign object damage prevention. The hard cases are approximately 100 pounds each and wheeled, making the entire kit light, durable, and mobile enough to self-deploy in any austere environment.
EAA Tools addresses chronic Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk maintenance issues with innovative solutions that promote safety, force readiness and mobility. The company currently offers 39 individual tools for the H-60/S-70 series helicopter. Many of EAA Tools’ products are the only special tool available for a maintenance task, the company said.
EAA Tools has a number of new products that are currently under development for H-60/S-70 aircraft, including: The Gear Box Seal Removal/Installation Tool Kit; the Viscous Damper Puller; and the Drag Beam Bushing Press. EAA Tools is expecting to launch these new products in April 2020.
