Mount tailplane
1. Clean the tailplane pins and bushes.
2. Clean and lubricate the pitot-static auto-connectors. Ensure that
the O-rings are serviceable.
3. Slide the tailplane onto the fin. Take care when the elevators
slide into the elevator auto-coupler.
4. Ensure that the Mylar edge on the tailplane does not snag on the
fin.
5. Screw the tailplane main bolt into position using the hex socket
key tip of the JS rigging tool.
CAUTION: Take care not to over tighten the tailplane front
attachment bolt. (Hand-tight only, maximum 1 Nm
torque).
Install auxiliary items
1. Insert the batteries into position in the luggage compartment
behind the seat headrest. Secure the batteries in position with
the battery retainers.
2. Check the battery fuses/circuit breakers on the battery connector
boxes.
3. Install the pitot-static and total energy tube and test gently for
test leaks.
4. Seal the wing-fuselage junctions, wing-wingtip junctions, and the
fin-tailplane junctions with tape.
5. Perform the daily inspection, including positive control check on
all controls.
CAUTION: The convex shape of the canopy can act as a lens and
is a fire hazard when the canopy is left open in the sun.
