2. The first stage yaw angle should be adjusted
such that it points 50 mm forward of the centre
section. A string line can be used as a guide.
Alternatively, it may be helpful to observe the
boom from underneath as the bottom chords are
50 mm wide all along the stages and provide a
visual reference for the offset amount.
3. The two open slots in the shim plates should be
facing downward when inserted to sit on the
loosened but not fully removed bolts. Insert or
remove shims by trial and error until the 50 mm
offset has been achieved. Replace and tighten all
nuts, bolts and washers (18 & 19 mm spanner/
socket).
SECOND STAGE
• The second stage yaw angle is adjusted using the
two stopper bolts and catch at pivot B.
1. Loosen the lock nuts on the upper and lower
stopper bolts. Back the stoppers off so that they
are not touching the second stage (1
