PIK-20 E Service manual

Remove the control surfaces while balancing. The balancing is made 

by suspending the control surface at the hinges and then measuring the 

weight at the surface trailing edge with a sensitive scale. The control 

surface must be horizontal in order to get a correct result.

The moment (product F a) and the total mass m must be within the given

 

limits.

=5, ) jXjC.of G.

m = total mass of the control surface (kg)

F = the scale reading (kg)

a = the distance between the scale supporting point and the hinge line 

(mm)

F-a = moment (kgmm)
Note: The given moment of the rudder balances also the tail wheel. That

 

is why a tail wheel of the same weight as the original wheel must be

 

used.

Note: After having replaced the cockpit floor and flap and trim position 

plate, it must be checkd that the stick moves freely with all flap positi­

ons.
