HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
1. Clean the entire frame thoroughly.
2. Add anti-chafe tape (masking tape) around sharp edges of ribs similar to
flaps and ailerons.
3. Perform pre-covering check using the following items.
ˆ
Stabilizer frame is primed.
ˆ
Ribs installed
ˆ
Anti-chafe tape applied to sharp edges of ribs
NOTE: Both sides of the horizontal stabilizers are covered with a separate piece
of fabric.
4. Cut fabric large enough to fit the frame and with enough excess to allow
gluing all the way around the frame tubes.
5. It does not matter which side you apply first. NOTE: It is recommended to
apply the fabric to the bottom side first. That will make a smoother finish
on the topside.
6. Glue fabric (first side) all the way around the frame tubes well past the
centerline of the tubes as shown in
FIGURE 07D-06 . You have to cut the
fabric in the corners, around the stabilizer- attach bushings.
7. Let dry and iron all fabric edges down.
8. Pre-iron the fabric surface only enough to take wrinkles out.
9. Glue fabric (second side) all the way around the frame tubes and past the
centerline as shown in
FIGURE 07D-06.
10. Let dry and pre-iron the surface only enough to take wrinkles out.
11. Let dry and final iron entire surface for tightening of fabric.
12. The fabric will also need to be riveted under the reinforcement Lexan strip
to the center of each rib. Refer to
WING COVERING FIGURES 07A-26A
to 07A-26C for details about riveting.
13. The Lexan straps should extend a minimum of 1/4” past the first and last
rivet. Cut the supplied Lexan straps to length. Apply the small clear
double stick tape on top of the fabric centered along each rib and
extending 1/4” past the first and last hole. Remove the protective paper on
top of the double stick tape and glue on the Lexan strap. Make sure the
strap is centered over the holes in the ribs.
