The EXTRA 200 has a conventional empennage with
stabilizers and moveable control surfaces. The spars con-
sist of carbon roving caps, carbon fibre webs and PVC foam
cores. The shells are built of honeycomb sandwich with
glass fibre or optional carbon fibre laminate. Also buckling
is prevented by plywood ribs. Deviating from this, the
elevator is constructed in the same manner as the ailerons
(refer to Chapter 57). On the R/H elevator half a trim tab is
fitted with a piano hinge.
The layer sequences of the stabilizers, the elevator and the
rudder are shown in Figures 1-2.
All composite parts, as protection against moisture and UV
radiation, are coated with an unsaturated polyester gel-
coat, an acrylic filler and finally with an acrylic paint.
For repair of composite parts refer to Chapter 51.
