Fitting The Horizontal Stabilizer - Pipistrel Sinus Build Manual

Fitting the horizontal stabilizer

Preparing the rudder before mounting the elevator assembly:
The first step is to trim the rudder, so that the elevator assembly can be properly

mounted. Use a Dremel to the grinding as shown in the photos below.
Outline
Enlarging the hole in the upper rudder, as shown above, is done in order to make assembly of
the upper rudder bracket easier.
Next, we must grind the support lip that sits above the upper edge of the rudder,

between the vertical elevator drive pushrod and the rudder. This is done to ensure this
lip doesn't hinder the elevator's movement. The lip should measure approx. 5mm above
the rudder's upper edge after grinding.
