Re: Elevator Tab Control

[Tom Mueller]

'Anyone know how to adjust the elevator tab control travel.
Turning the cabin ceiling hand crank gives way too much up and down
movement. 15 degrees up when the handle stops turning in one
direction, and 9 degrees down when turned the other way til the handle
stops. Both deflections are out of limits set by the TCDS. Are there
adjustable stops somewhere in this circuit? Can't figure this one
out, don't like the idea I might be overstressing the tail
feathers. I got nothin,

Thanks,

'Tom,

There are 2 control stop blocks clamped on the cables, which limit the
trim tab travel. They are located inside the headliner above the rear
seat.

I hope that helps
