The empennage fairing was removed Both rudder cables are attached and safetied. The trim motor tray is attached and safetied. Both rudder hinge points (upper and lower), the bolt/nut/washers are properly installed.
Tthe stick full aft was moved and held firmly against the stop. The stabilator was on the trailing edge up position. Different amount of force was put on the stick and verified that the stick could move slightly off its stop before the stabilator begins to move.
Tthe stick full aft was moved and held firmly against the stop. The stabilator was on the trailing edge down position. Different amount of force was put on the stick and verified that the stick could move slightly off its stop before the stabilator begins to move.
Held the stick full right while moving from full forward to full aft. Verified a smooth movement of the stabilator with no binding and little or no friction. Held the stick full left while moving from full forward to full aft. Verified a smooth movement of the stabilator with no binding and little or no friction.
The master switch was “ON” and the “NOSE UP” side of trim switch was activated until the motor reaches the stop. The stabilator was moved to the full trailing edge (T.E.) up position and measure the tab position. The diistance from center of AST (Anti-Servo Tab) T.E. at one outboard tip to the center of adjacent stabilator is 17/32.
Standed alongside the stabilator, moved the stabilator from full-up to full-down and checked for binding/interference of the anti-servo tab and actuating mechanism. Moved the stabilator to the full trailing edge up position and holded it there. Verified that there is at least 1/4 inch [6.3mm] clearance between the bottom of the rudder and the AST pushrod. There was 21/32
“NOSE DOWN” side of trim switch was actuated until limit was reached. Move dthe stabilator to the full trailing edge down position and measured the tab position. The distance from center of AST T.E. to c
