NSTRUCTIONS
:
1. Verify that the final pitch pushrod and air rudder are not installed. The pushrod passes through
the horizontal tail aft attach fitting and so it cannot be in place during horizontal tail installation.
2. Lift horizontal tail into position on top of the vertical tail and support it just above its final position
with padded scaffolding, ladders, or with two helpers.
3. Connect the multi-pin wire connector and coaxial cable connectors at the vertical tail/horizontal
tail joint.
4. Lower the horizontal tail into position so that the composite fitting projecting down from the hori-
zontal tail likes flush with the vertical tail spar. Use care to avoid pinching the electrical cables;
feed slack in cables through hole in top vertical tail rib.
