Adjust the rudder travel
Make a template that will sit over the rear of the empennage and tape it in place. Find the
centreline of the fuselage and mark a 5mm offset to the
right of the centreline onto the
template, then mark 98mm each side of that offset mark as shown in the photos above.
Place a saw stool under the front of the fuselage to lift the
nose wheel off the ground and then adjust the rudder
cable length so that the rudder sits on the 5mm right mark
with the rudder pedals centred, with the pedals all level.
Lock both rod end lock nuts firmly and mark each one
with
TorqueSeal .
Now use the rudder pedal adjustment set screws (shown
arrowed at right) to adjust the rudder travel so that the
rudder deflects
exactly 98mm to each side of the offset
centre mark as shown in the photos above.
When this has been done tighten up both of the lock nuts
firmly and mark each one with
TorqueSeal .
The rudder is now adjusted.
Fit the elevator
Hold the elevator up to the horizontal stabiliser and fit the hinge pins in place: all pins are
fitted by pushing them in from the outside of the hinge and towards the rudder.
Check for free movement of the elevator from stop to stop.
Locate the ends of the hinge pins in the retaining
slots, push the trim lever on the console fully
forward and then apply a length of
Wotan cloth tape
to the top of the gap between the elevator and the
horizontal stabiliser as shown at right, pressing the
tape over the top of the hinge pins so that they break
through the tape surface. Use one length of tape on
each side of the tailplane, make sure that there are
no wrinkles and press the tape firmly down.
Secure each hinge pin in place with pin retainers.
Each pin retainer will be held in place with a 5/32”
machine thread screw.
Mark each retainer screw with TorqueSeal .
