FLIGHT MANUAL
Outboard wing panels (15 or 18 m span)
Take round-headed rigging tool, screw it into wing pin locking lever (on outbd.
panel) and swing the latter upwards, thus extracting the pin from the spar stub
tunnel.
Thereafter slide outboard panel onto spar stub of inboard panel until stub pin has
just engaged in its corresponding bushing on the outboard panel, align aileron
coupling lap with slot on adjacent aileron (on inbd. wing) and push panel fully
home.
Finally swing wing pin locking lever down (its upper edge must not protrude
above wing surface) and remove rigging tool.
Horizontal tailplane
Take the round-headed rigging tool (to be stored in the side pocket) and screw it
into the front tailplane locating pin on the leading edge of the fin.
Next slide the horiz. tailplane aft onto the two elevator actuating pins, pull rigging
tool and its pin forwards, seat stabilizer nose and push locating pin home into the
front tailplane attachment fitting.
Remove rigging tool - the locating pin must not protrude in front of the leading
edge of the fin.
Check whether the elevator actuating pins are really located by moving the ele-
vator.
After rigging
Check the controls – with the aid of a helper – for full and free movements in the
correct sense.
Use tape to seal off the wing/fuselage joint, the joint between inboard and out-
board wing panels, the opening for the front tailplane attachment pin and also the
joint between fin and horizontal stabilizer (only necessary if there is no rubber
seal at the top of the fin).
Warning:
On the 18m-outboard wing panels do not seal the the gap between both outer
ailerons.
Sealing with tape is beneficial in terms of performance and it also serves to re-
duce the noise level.
