C. Secure the control column in the near forward position. Allow one-quarter inch between the
column and the stop bumper.
D. Check each control cable for the correct tension as given inFigure 27-16.
E. Should tension be incorrect, loosen the turnbuckle of the lower cable in the aft section of the
fuselage and adjust the turnbuckle of the upper cable to obtain correct tension. Cable tension should be
obtained with control wheel at the one-quarter inch dimension from the stop and the stabilator contacting its
stop.
F. Check safety of all turnbuckles and bolts.
G. With the tension of the upper cable correct and the control wheel still forward, adjust the
turnbuckle of the lower cable to obtain correct tension.
H. Check the full travel of the control wheel with relation to the full travel of the stabilator to
deterine that the stabilator contacts its stop before the control wheel contacts its stops. With the control wheel
in the fore and aft positions, the travel distance from the point where the stabilator contacts its stops and
the
control wheel contacts its stops should be approximately equal. Readjust turnbuckles if incorrect.
1. Reinstall access panels and fin tip.
