Scott,
Is this the information you need?
Check
elevator up travel to specs using drilled hole in rudders. 415C, CD, D, E are
different as is Forney, Alon, Mooney. On rudder, lay out line at right angles
to leading edge of rudder from point midway between attaching bolts of center
hinge, and running to rudder trailing edge. From intersection of this line and
rudder trailing edge, measure up or downward to find travel of elevator. See if
it looks close for pre-purchase inspection, then get rigging re-done when you
can. It'll take about eight hours or so for someone who knows what he's doing
to re-rig the plane, assuming you don't have to replace parts.
Elevator:
415-C: up 13° down 12° (3.25" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5")
415-D: up 9° down 12° (2.2" up ±.25", 2.88" down ±.5")
415-E, G, Forney F-, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 20°, down 10° (4.9" up,
2.5" down)
M-10: up 25°-24° down 32°-36°
Trim:
415-C: up ? down ?
415-D: up 0° down 60°
415-E, G, Forney F-1, F-1A, Alon A-2, A2-A: up 10° down 36°
M-10 up 7°-10° down 32°-36°
Sorry I can’t remember the sources I
used to compile this info. It was from official sources, but I compiled this
sometime in the ’92-’94 timeframe while I was editing Coupe Capers.
It’s part of my pre-purchase
inspection article.
