4-29. BALANCING
CONTROL SURFACES.
a. Insure
that the
control surface
is in its
final flight
configuration,
static wicks,
trim
tabs,
trim tab
push pull rod
and control
surface tip
(as applicable)
should be
installed. The
surface should
be painted and
trim/servo tabs
should be in the
neutral positon.
NOTE
Because
paint is a
considerable
balance
factor, it is
recommended
that
existing
paint
be removed
prior
to
repainting
a control surface.
b.
Place
hinge bolts
through
control
surfaces
and place
control
surface
on a holding
fixture.
c. Avoiding
rivets,
place
the balancing
tool
on the control
surface
with
the tool's
hinge
centerline
directly over the
hinge line of the control
surface.
d.
Adjust
the movable
trailing
edge
support
to fit the
width
of the control
surface.
Tighten
the set screw on the
trailing edge support.
e. Adjust
the trailing
edge
support
vertically
until the
beam is
parallel with
the control
surface
chord
line.
f.
Remove the
tool from
the control
surface and
balance the
tool itself
by adding or
removing
nuts or
washers
from the
beam balancing
bolt. When
balancing
the tool,
the
movable weight
must
be at the bar's
hinge centerline.
g. After
balancing
the
tool, reattach
it to
the control
surface.
Keep the
beam positioned
90
°
from the
control surface
hinge line.
h.
Determine
balance
of control
surface
by sliding
movable
weight
along
the balance
beam.
i.
Read the
scale when the
bubble in
the level has
been centered.
Since
the movable
weight
weighs
three
pounds, every
inch
it is moved
from the
center of
the beam
equals three
inch-pounds
of force.
