Help:Removing horizontal stab

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sat Feb 18, 2012 8:52 am

A funny response considering it is Darryl Murphy that advised a builder that
his double bolting of the front attach fitting could cause the front spar to
break outboard of the fitting (and told him to remove one bolt), since it
turned the front spar into a cantilever beam and didn't allow the rear
spar/lift strut combination to do it's job! The front spar is just a plain
channel with a fitting riveted on the end, where as the rear spar has
doublers on the spar etc to take the extra loads.

Go with what ever attachment you want to reinstall I guess (it's yours and
of course your passengers asses!)!

Cheers,
Wayne

Hi guys:

I talked to Brian Godden of MAM and he said it was quite acceptable to
rivet the horizontal stab to the airframe. He said they designed the
tail so that you can fold the horizontal stab up against the rudder,
but if you will never do that riveting would be Ok. Go figure.

Thanks again Wayne.

Yes he did have the lift strut installed.
