The down elevator stop may be adjusted with the adjustable stop screw shown above.
To adjust the up-elevator, first draw the stick back to the stop and secure it in this position.
Measure the elevator deflection from its neutral position and compare this with the values given in
Appendix 2. If adjustment is required, use either the rod end fitted to the elevator horn or the rod
end located beneath the baggage bay floor.
If the up-elevator deflection is adjusted, it is necessary to re-check the down elevator deflection
and re-adjust this as necessary.
When complete, ensure that all rod end adjusters are properly tightened and thread locking
compound is applied to the locknut.
5.7.4 Rudder
Rudder stops in the form of swages are fitted on the cables running through fuselage side
stiffeners adjacent to the seats. Measure the rudder deflections, right and left, and adjust the stops
by screwing the nipples in or out as necessary. Lock the nipples when adjustment is complete.
5.7.5 Trim Tab
The trim tab Bowden cables pass through adjustable nipples immediately aft of the lever. Screw
these nipples in or out, while maintaining tension on the inner cable, to place the lever in its correct
position relative to its quadrant markings.
The position of the trim tab itself may be adjusted relative to the elevator surface, by adjusting the
cable nipples mounted on brackets situated on the elevator’s trailing edge. For larger adjustments
use the inner cable clamps on the trim tab’s upper and lower surfaces.
When complete ensure that all nipples are locked and that there is adequate tension in the cable.
See Permissible Tolerances section (5mm maximum at the lever top with tab locked).
