Check elevator up travel to specs using drilled hole in rudders. 415C, CD, D, E are different as is Forney, Alon, Money. On rudder, lay out line at right angles to leading edge of rudder from point midway between attaching bolts of center hinge, and running to rudder trailing edge. >From intersection of this line and rudder trailing edge, measure up or downward to find travel of elevator. See if it looks close for repurchase inspection, then get rigging re-done when you can. It'll take about eight hours or so for someone who know what he's doing to rejig the plane, assuming you don't have to replace parts.
Elevator: 415-C: up 13° down 12° (3.25" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5") 415-D: up 9° down 12° (2.2" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5") 415-E,G Forney F-, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 20° down 10° (4.9" up, 2.5" down) M-10: up 25°-24° down 32°-36° Trim: 415-C: up ? down ? 415-D: up 0° down 60° 415-E,G Forney F-1, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 10° down 36° M-10 up 7°-10° down 32°-36° See: http://www.flash.net/~dmprosvc/dave/purchase.htm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi all, > just had my mechanic install new bushings in the tail bellcrank and he also > moved the pushrod to the correct hole..... when it was converted to a D model > somebody screwed up an put it in the one at the end of the elevator horn > instead of the one toward the rear of the elevator.
