There are two stabilator attach points that would have been under tremendous
twisting load with her pushing waaaay out at the end of the "arm" of the stabilator. I can't think of any in-flight condition that would put such an asymmetric load on the bird. The bearings/bushings are a source of stabilator wear that must be continuously assessed. Part of my preflight on the Cherokee Six I fly is to grasp the leading and trailing edge free end and gently move it fore/aft/up/down to determine the amount of play. As I wrote back in March, I have not yet found anyone to tell me how much play in the bearings is acceptable before grounding the aircraft for excessive play. |
