(a) Set the tail of the aircraft on a sawhorse or a bench.
(b) Remove the inspection cover located on the left side of fuselage beneath the
horizontal stabilizer.
(c) Position the long tail wires with the fin stringer (5) and insert a clevis pin (1) with
washer (2) through the fin (3) and rudder (4). Secure with washer (6) and cotter
pin (7).
(d) Position the long tail wires with the horizontal stringer (14) on the horizontal
stabilizer (15) and insert a clevis pin (11) with washer (12) through the
elevator.(13). Secure with washer (16) and cotter pin (17).
(e) Repeat on the opposite side.

(b) Level the stabilizer laterally at the rear spars by adjusting the bracing wires.
(Refer to Section 6.3.22).
(c) Place elevator trim in the center of the takeoff position.
(d) Adjust the tension of the upper tail brace wires to obtain 0.44 inches plus or
minus 9.13 inches deflection when a load of 10 pounds plus or minus 1 pound is
applied at right angles at the center of the wire. Accomplish this by loosening the
jam nut on either end of the wire and turn the wire, (in to shorten the wire and out
to lengthen it).
(e) The rear spar of the stabilizer must be level; the elevator hinge line must remain
straight.
(f) Adjust the tension of the tail brace wires such that a 0.44 (7/16) inch ± 0.063
(1/16) inch deflection may be reached when applying a load of 10 ±1 lbs at right
angles at the center of either of the top wires. The tolerance is ± 0.5 degree.
(g) Ensure that the fin remains vertical at the rudder hinge center line and the rear
