The horizontal stabilizer assembly is mounted through the tail boom to increase the
center of gravity range of the helicopter. It consists of a fixed stabilizer with an inverted
airfoil and vertical end plates. A fixed leading edge slat and trailing edge trimtab
along the complete length of the stabilizer increases its' effectiveness. The horizontal
stabilizer is a one piece airfoil surface mounted 9 degrees nose down through the tail
boom. The stabilizer provides pitch stability for the helicopter. Leading edge slats are
incorporated for improved pitch stability. Auxiliary vertical fins are attached to the
outboard tips of the stabilizer which provide improved directional stability for small
yaw angles and improved dihedral stability.
A
two section cover extends along the top surface of the tail boom to protect the
driveshafts. It is attached to fittings with quick release DZUS screws, for easy inspection.
A
two piece gearbox cover encloses the aft end of the tail boom. An anticollision
light mounts beneath the forward end of the tail boom, and the rear (white) position
light is located at the bottom of the vertical fin. The
fin and horizontal stabilizer are
removable for shipping of the helicopter.
