VERTICAL STABILIZER ATTACHMENT
NOTE:
The rudder must be installed onto the vertical stabilizer before the
assembly is installed to the tailcone. The horizontal stabilizer needs to be
installed first as it will not clear the rudder. These assemblies may be
installed after painting.
1.
Install the rubber trim onto the bottom edge of the vertical stabilizer. Remove and
trim to fit. Use a very small amount of Cyanoacrylate (Superglue) to secure the
rubber trim onto the bottom edge of the vertical stabilizer.
2.
If the rudder is attached to the vertical stabilizer, the rudder horn must be
removed to allow the rudder horn weldment to pass through the tailcone skin.
3.
Install the vertical stabilizer onto the tailcone through the slots in the top skins.
4.
Reach in through the bottom inspection holes to insert the bolts. Install the rudder
stop. The stop is asymmetric about the holes. Orientate the stop so the bulk
material is above the bolts.
5.
Re-install the rudder horn and attach the rudder cables using the appropriate
hardware.
