The stabilator was moved from full-up to full-down and checked for binding/interference of the anti-servo tab and actuating mechanism.
The stabilator was moved to the full trailing edge up position and held 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 3/8 inch.
Trim switch was actuated to place the trim in the TAKEOFF position on the EFIS. The stabilator was moved to the full trailing edge up position and measured the tab position. The distance from center of AST T.E. to center of stabilator is 2" 7/16 T.E: (nominal distance: 2.0 inches [50.8mm])
The master switch was turned “OFF”. The empennage fairing was installed. Verified that there was no interference between the empennage fairing and the stabilator or antiservo tab pushrod at any point in their full ranges of travel.
With a 12 inch or 30cm. straightedge: The rudder skin, anti-servo tab, and stabilator skin are flat between the spar and trailing edge and that there was no pillowing or bulging between ribs.
The trim tab was in the TAKEOFF position. moved the rudder full left and holded against the stop. The distance from bottom of rudder trailing edge to center of anti-servo pushrod with stabilator held in full up position was 7" 3/16 . Distance: inches (nominal distance: 7 1/8 inches [18.1cm] -measured horizontal, 7 5/16±1/8 inches [18.57±.3 cm] - measured diagonally from point-to-point).
Moved the rudder full right and holded against the stop. The distance from bottom of rudder trailing edge to center of anti-servo pushrod with stabilator held in full up position was 7" 1/8 inches (nominal distance: 7 1/8 inches [18.1cm] - measured horizontal, 7 5/16±1/8 inches [18.57±.3 cm] - measured diagonally from point-to-point)
While seated in pilot seat, the rudder was moved through its full range of motion. When the left pedal is pushed, the rudder moves trailing edge left and when the right pedal is push
