--> Beech-List message posted by: "Randy L. Thwing" <n4546v@mindspring.com>
Hello List:
Does someone have one of the "Official" Beech lead washers used for balancing
the ruddervators they could measure and weigh and provide me the specs? I
asked for this info a couple of years (and computor crashes) ago, Listers promptly
responded, and now that I need the info, I just can't lay my hands on it.
I recall that the washers are 3/4 wide by 1/16 thick, with a .187 hole in them.
If anyone can confirm those measurements and add the weight in grams of ounces,
I would appreciate the help. I searched the archives, but found nothing.
I removed my ruddervators this weekend to balance them to the new AD spec.
Years ago, I had them professionaly painted and balanced to the previous spec.
Each of my ruddervators had two weight screws in each tip. When I removed
the tips, I was very surprised to find NO washers in either side. I hope I got
the job I paid for and to achieve the new balance I can put up to the eleven
allowed washers in each side.
Regards,
Randy L. Thwing, 1948 Straight 35, Las Vegas D-1373
