11.4 Fitting the Elevator Control Rods and Ball Raced Horns
Fit and bolt the horizontal stabilizers in place, using a washer with each of the
two bolts.
Now tape the elevators into the neutral positions with masking tape.
You may now fit the control rods and ball raced elevator hinges using the
same steps used for the aileron and rudder setups.
IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPO
R
TANT THAT YOU TAKE PART
I
CULAR CARE
TO ENSURE THAT THE ELEVATOR HORNS ON EACH ELEVATOR ARE
FITTED IN EXACTLY THE SAME POSITION. THIS MAY REQUIRE
ADUSTING THEIR NEUTRAL POSITION USING A COMPUTERISED
TRANSMITTER.
IF THE HORNS ARE FITTED IN DIFFERENT PLACES THE MOVEMENTS
OF THE ELEVATORS WILL NOT BE MATCHED. DJUSTMENTS ON THE
TRANSMITTER MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY COMPENSATE FOR THIS
THROUGHOUT THE FULL RANGE OF THE ELEVATOR MOVEMENT.
Once you have completed fitting the horns and linkages please disconnect the
control rods from the elevator servo and remove the stabilizer halves, anti
rotation pin and carbon tube. The stabilizers should remain unfitted until the
end of the assembly process for the Vision 3D. This is to protect them against
damage as the fuselage is turned over and moved within your workshop.
