HORIZONTAL TAIL AND ELEVATOR
Figure 22: Horizontal tail and elevator.
Refer to Figure 22. The horizontal stabiliser consists of a conventional semi-monocoque all-metal
light alloy structure with front and rear spars. The elevator has a similar structure, though with only a
front spar. Bearings are again, as with all other control surface bearings, ¼ inch sealed bearings.
Elevator horns carry through to the leading edge of the horizontal tail and the elevator tips consist of
shaped epoxy resin and glass fibre composite.
Elevator mass balancing is located in the two elevator horn leading edges. To inspect these parts it
is necessary to remove the composite tips.
