Elevator
Check the elevator travel
Use the supplied deflection templates to check the up and down travel of the elevator.
Hold the control stick all the way forward (have someone help you) and check the amount of
down deflection and adjust the cable length (by screwing the rod ends in or out an equal
amount at each end of the cable) until the down deflection is correct.
Now have your helper hold full back stick and check the amount of up deflection: it should be
very close to correct if the down deflection is OK, however you may need to make some fine
adjustments to equalise elevator travel until both up and down deflections are correct.
The elevator must clear the rudder and the down stop by 2mm at full deflection.
Recheck the up and down deflections and then lock the rod end lock nuts at each end of the
cable and mark each rod end lock nut with
TorqueSeal
.
This completes the

task.
