STABILATOR (Cont.)
BALANCING )
BALANCING EQUIPMENT (Refer to Chapter 95)
The balancing must be done using a suitable tool capable of measuring unbalance in inch-pounds from
configurations may be used, provided accuracy is maintained and recalibration capability is provided. The
points over control surface hinge centerline and balance bar parallel to cord line. Position trailing edge
support to align tool with control surface cord line and secure in this position. Remove tool without
disturbing trailing edge support and balance tool by adding weight to light end as required. (Movable
weight must be at centerline.) Place tool on control surface perpendicular to hinge centerline. Read scale
when bubble level has been centered by adjustment of movable weight.
– WARNING –
All control surfaces that have been replaced, repainted, or
repaired, must be rebalanced according to the procedures in
this manual.
BALANCING STABILATOR (Refer to Figure 2)
To balance stabilator, assembly must be complete including trim tab, tab pushrod and end bearing, stabilator
tips and all attaching screws. Before balancing, tape trim tab in neutral position with a small piece of tape.
Place complete assembly on knife edge supports in a draft-free beam perpendicular to hinge centerline. Do
level has been centered by adjustment of movable weight and determine static balance limit. If static
balance is not within limits given, proceed as follows:
1. If the stabilator is out of limits on the leading edge heavy side, remove balance plates from the mass
balance weight until the static balance is within limits.
2. If stabilator is out of limits on trailing edge heavy side, add balance plates (4 maximum) to mass
balance weight until static balance is within limits.
