Brief Description: Right Elevator - Setting the Counter Balance
Cleco and drill the E-703 end rib to the E-704 counterbalance rib then cleco and drill them to E-702. Remove the ribs from the spar.
Place the E-714 counterweight on the forward end of E-703 and E-704 as shown (See View F-F, DWG 5).
Cleco the E-713 counterbalance skin to E-703 and E-704, overtop of E-714. The step in the front face of E-714 should butt against the outboard edge of E-713.
Use the two holes in the forward face of E-713 as a guide and drill #12 the holes for the screws that will hold E-714 in place. Use a drilling lubricant when drilling the lead E-714’s. Un-cleco E-713, remove and set aside E-714, re-cleco on E-713 to E-703 and E-704. Then cleco the E-703, E-704, E-713 subassembly to E-702.
I really took my time making sure the #12 was straight. Noy perfect - but I think pretty good - centred.
