Left Horizontal Stabilizer - Cub Crafters CC18-180 Maintenance Manual

(2) LEFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER

(a) Apply grease (MIL-G-81322E
stabilizer and install it onto the ends of the tubes that protrude from the side of
the fuselage. It may be necessary to have a second person hold the left stabilizer
as a back up.
(b) Make sure the sewn seams on the trailing edge of both stabilizers are on the
bottom.
(c) Make sure the stabilizer frame fits tightly against the fuselage attachments.
(d) If the tail surfaces have been changed and new tube liners are installed
complete the following;

Have a second person pull the front corners of the stabilizer together tight
against the fuselage attachment yoke then drill a hole down through
predrilled hole in top of the left front stabilizer tube into the tube liner with a
#12 bit. DO NOT DRILL CLEAR THROUGH.

If any play exists between stabilizer and the fuselage use a tapered punch
to adjust the alignment of the upper hole and remove the play; drill the hole
up from the bottom through the stabilizer and liners and on up through the
top to "clean out" the holes.
(e) Attach with a long bolt (1) and washer (3) inserted down through the stabilizer
and tube (6) and secure it with a washer (4) and nut (5). Torque the nut to 38-43
in/lbs.
(f) After the tail brace wires are installed and rigged, drill the right rear stabilizer and
tube with a #12 bit and insert a bolt (2) and washer (3) and secure with a washer
(P4) and nut (5). Torque the nut to 38-43 in/lbs.
(g) Pump grease (MIL-G-81322E
until it starts to squeeze out.
