RIGGING THE TAIL CONTROL SURFACES

(1) ELEVATOR

To rig the elevator, adjust both turnbuckles until:

The stick clears the instrument panel by at least 1/8 inch when the stick is moved all the way
forward (nose down);

With the pilot's seat all way forward, the stick clears the base of the seat by at least 1/8 inch
when the stick is moved all the way back (nose up) and,
The cable tension is 60 ± 2 lbs.
Figure 6.3.5.10: Installing Safety Clips on Turnbuckles
Not more than three threads shall be visible at each end of the turnbuckle barrels.

(2) RUDDER

(a) Check that the rudder is centered when rudder pedals are inline with each other.
Ensure that the rudder can travel through its full range, left and right. Rudder
travel may be measured using a special protractor available at Cub Crafters for a
nominal fee. The travel is not adjustable in the field. Contact Cub Crafters if
adjustments to the travel are required. Make any adjustments at the rear cable
attach fitting (I Figure 6.3.5.3) by changing the hole through which the screw (II
Figure 6.3.5.3) goes through to the fitting (I Figure 6.3.5.3). Safety each nut (IV
Figure 6.3.5.3) with a cotter pin (V Figure 6.3.5.3).
(b) Make sure all castellated nuts and clevis pins are secured with cotter pins.
