53.40.20 Wings
Figure 38 Top of Mast, attached to the wing
The trike base is attached to the wing using an aircraft grade bolt, that attaches to the Wings U bracket.
The attachment arrangement allows the mast to move forwards/backwards and sideways relative to the
hinge point. There is also the safety strap, included for the unlikely event of the main attachment failing.
For instructions regarding the attachment and maintenance of the main bolt, refer to the Wing
maintenance manual and the Pilot’s Operating Handbook.
53.40.30 Stabilisers
The stabilisers are attached to the frame using the brackets on the inside and outside of the rear
wheels. These may be clearly seen in section 20.10.00 Torquing Procedures. They are held in place
with Bolts and Washers, where the washers are important to prevent crushing of the composite (AN4
Washers on the outside, and 3/16” X ½” washers on the inside). The Illustrated parts catalogue should
be consulted for the correct assembly sequence for the spats.
