R-22 Upper scissors rod end play

[IFLY]

Any one know the limits for play in the scissors rod end, it has a small amount of horizontal play none in vertical.

I have never found play in any rotor head rodends before. I canceled a night currency flight to check on the limits.

Checked with Robinson and it can have some play in them, so will be checking to be sure it doesn't exceed limits 60k rotating, 20k rodend horizontal, 10k vertical but will check maintenance manual to verify what they told me.

Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 2.3, and Figure 2-8 on page 2.35.
