Hi all
Long time listner. First Time Caller..... Oh wait this isn't the radio....
anyway
I'm building a 601XL from the kit and I'm current;y working on Drawing Page
6-T-6 Elevator Trim Tab Dated 8/05 assembly guide pages 6-T-6 6 thru 12
dated 6/05
I've laid out the cutout in the bottom skin for the Ray Allen Servo and laid
out the tab pushrod lines and the hole in the trailing edge for the horn to
move through. Also laid out the Pushrod Line and the 140mm from the trailing
edge line on the top skin
The assembly guide explains how to position the servo and drill the holes to
rivet the servo to the underside of the top skin but something seems amiss
If you have the pushrod and the servo arm lined up the servo is not centered
in the bottom skin cutout. The servo is offset inboard from the hole roughly
30 MM towards the center rib of the elevator. Some of the pictures in the
assembly guide show the servo centered in the hole and some are unclear
Only one picture even shows the center rib in the elevator.
It will all fit as drawn, but the servo is close to the rib (not an issue)
and the access cover is cloes to the rivet line of the rib (>10mm) (probably
dosen't matter) The photo guide show the cover but not the rib. I intend to
install it as per the drawings but I thought I'd ask
I suspect the Photo Guide is using pictures from the older Trim Tab that was
much smaller and the servo was mounted further inboard.
Comments? Observations All are welcome
