I'm working on rigging the elevator and have a couple of questions: 1) Why do the elevator cables have their turnbuckles in the middle of the cable? Why not at the end near the bellcrank? It seems like there would be less places for the cable to fail. 2) Is there an up and down stop that the up elevator hits? I can see anywhere it is going to stop. Curt Plans building CH701. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:48:46 PM PST US From: "Curt Thompson" Subject: RE: Zenith701801-List: Horizontal Stab Position Art, I just discovered that I put that "L" (rear most part of top skin) shown on sheet 7F4 in the wrong direction. My elevator horn hits that before I get the full down deflection. I may move it a smidge forward and use it as the deflection stop.

I was about to do a bonehead thing and start modifying the elevator horn, but you guys advised against it based on experience. You are right. I talked to Roger at ZAC and it is normal to have to trim the "L" angle at the top rear Fuselage to allow enough movement to get the down angle correct. I'm going to work to the minimum down angle also. Thanks guys for your quick responses. I was in a really bad place there for a day or two, and some of the same bad words that BokKat found in his shop turned up in mine. They must come with the kit. > > > > agibeaut wrote: > "agibeaut" > >> > >> I'm afraid I've mounted the Horizontal Stab on my > 701 too far forward, or possibly too high off the Fuselage. > When I test mounted the elevator I found that it will only > deflect about 18 degrees at a down angle due to interference > with the bottom horn and the Fuselage top skin.
