Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2008 1:04 pm Post subject: Elevator Stops

I am rigging the elevator and cannot get enough movement to go from stop to

stop.  It is hitting on the front ball joint shank in one direction and the

lower ball joint under the battery.  I do have the minimum movement in each

direction but I don't like that the movement is limited by the control

mechanism instead of the stops.



Any one else have this problem?  Better yet anyone have a solution?

Gary, we also had a problem with the elevator rigging.  It has been quite a while, so I will attempt to recall as best as I can.  Our problem was the elevator horn would not bump against the aft stop.  The bottom of the elevator horn seemed as if it could be 'forced' past the stop and become jammed.



We ended up building up the stop with an extra bar of .125 aluminum and a piece of 1x1 angle.  When we asked Vans, they had never seen this problem before, we double checked everything, and they gave the thumbs up to the fix.  To tell if you are having the same problem as we had, take a look at the elevator horn when the elevator is in the full nose up deflection.  If it seems as if the elevator horn could go past the stop let me know and I will send you pictures of our fix off line.



Thanks, Jason #40617 - Finishing
