Atec ATEC 212 SOLO ROTAX 912 UL manual Dismantling the Horizontal and Vertical Rudder, Assembly

6.1.Introduction

The assembly of individual parts of the aeroplane is described in this chapter. At least two persons are necessary for the assembly and dismantling.

6.2.Dismantling the Horizontal and Vertical Rudder

The HT and VT stabilizers are an integral part of the fuselage

Dismantling VT rudder. Disconnect control. Release and unbolt the bolt M6 at the lower part of the rudder. Take out the rudder from the hinges moving it down and backwards. Dismantling elevator. Release and remove elevator pins using suitable tongs. Take out elevator moving it backwards.

6.3.Dismantling the wings

Disconnect the pins of ailerons and flap control in the cabin space. Release and remove the lock nut of the M10 bolt of the wing pins. Screw the bolt off by about 20 mm. The helper lifts the wing a bit by holding it at the end. By light taps on the head of the bolt the bottom pin is knocked-out. Unscrew the bolt and remove the pin. Then the upper pin is driven out with the help of a rod with 18 mm diameter. After removed pins lift up the wing and disconnect the hoses of the static and total pressure. Those hoses must not be interchanged during assembly. Disconnect strobe-light or position light cables if the aircraft is equipped with them.

6.4.Assembly

The assembly is carried out in the opposite way. All pins must be cleaned and greased and then secured. Take care about the proper adjustment of ailerons, which is done by shortening and extending the aileron connection struts. Ever use new securing wire, new split pins and new self-locking nuts.
