10.7.3 INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Inspect flaps for any signs of delamination or cracking. Pay particular attention to the Control Horn
and hinges and their surrounding areas.
Repairs must be referred to Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd or our approved local agent.
10.7.4 FLAP INSTALLATION
Reverse the preceding steps for installation. Replace all Nyloc nuts and torque in accordance with
WARNING
All spherical rod end bearings must be fitted with a large washer on the outside of the
through-bolt to prevent the bearing case and cable releasing in the event of a bearing failure.
10.7.5 FLAP BALANCING
The flaps on the J160/J170 are not balanced.
10.7.6 FLAP RIGGING
– J170-SP MODEL
The J170-SP has a special requirement for its
wing flap rigging. To attain the required “clean” stall
speed, the J170-SP must have its flaps rigged using a special template, P/No. 8206Q5N.
10.8 FLAP RIGGING (AS PER TEMPLATE)
1.
With the flap selector lever in the neutral position, use a straight edge not less than 1 metre long.
Hold the straight edge flush on the underside of the wing aerofoil and adjust flap so that the
trailing edge of the flap sits on the straight edge and there is 4mm clearance between straight
edge and trailing edge of the wing.
2.
Adjust with the rod ends. Ensure that the lock nut is tight on the control ends and that the thread
is visible through the hole in the rod.
3.
Check for FULL DOWN travel using the Flap Rigging Template (see Appendix 3). Please note:
There is only a requirement to check the down deflection because it has the highest value in
travel.
