wrote: So either you were dealing with a broken 601XL or as I said before you are full of crap. Sorry to ruin your day, I'm not full or crap this time. The aircraft was inspected by myself and two other people from our EAA chapter. I did not measure the movement, and I rough guessed three inches total movement, which would be 1.5 each way. I could be wrong and it may have only been 1 inch... but it was more than a half inch I assure you. Now Gig, why do you think that anyone who says they found XYZ on another airplane is automatically full of crap because it's not that way on your airplane? I can't think of any force acting on the airframe in flight that would do what you are doing with your hand. A combination of any-all of: vibration, asymmetrical loads from slipstream swirling back on the fuselage, sideslip angle, gusts, rudder input slightly moving the fuselage, etc. etc. If you ever did "slow flight" in a Piper Tomahawk, and the instructor told you to turn around and look at the tail, you would damn well know how much a tail can shake back and forth from just air loads! Now I'm not saying you couldn't bend the attach points enough to make it move 3" but you'd only get to do that once on my plane before I hit you with a baseball bat. You can come out and try to move the stab tips of my T-craft back and forth all you want... and it won't move... and I won' even threaten to whack you with a bat much less actually do it. Your comment shows me that you know your stabilizer can be moved, and you know it's not good for the airplane. |

Well my plane is being built according to the plans. And you can rest assured there that the Horz Stab can't be moved 3 inches without bending the attach points past the point where they have been damaged. |
