Hello, all



I am building the rear fuselage, and before committing to the position of parts, I decided to check how the stabilizer would align.



Looks like I'll have to move it forward somewhat (2 or 3 cm), and perhaps add a little shim to the rear attachment, so the width looks ok.

 

My question to the group is about edge distance: the (CH601-HD) construction manual (Edition 3, Jan 1995) says, in the "tail installation on the fuselage" section (page 26): "watch for a minimum edge distance of 13 mm to any edge."

 

While the dimensions of 6F2-7 and -8 (6B3-3/4 on the XL) allow for this, 6T2-1 and 6T2-3 do not - or at least I don't see how.

Therefore, I am assuming that the 13 mm statement refers to the HT attachment brackets only (6F2-7 / 8 on the 601-HD and 6B3-3 / 4 on the XL).

 

I would appreciate the group's comments on this.



Thanks in advance

Carlos

Carlos-

      You're right, it's  impossible to maintain a 13mm edge distance on both the F and T parts. FWIW, I  laid out the 13mm edge distance on the F parts, pre-drilled the  holes, clamped the stab in place and backdrilled the T parts.

I'll have to check for the part numbers.. I remember I had difficulty to maintain minimum edge distance on the HT plates on the side of the fuselage.  After checking with CH, I decided to use 0.050" 4130 steel.  CH warned me of checking for corrosion.
