Standard Cirrus C-Hook

May I recommend that you make sure that you continue to comply with the
1970 Tech Note 278-2 for the Std Cirrus both for the hook and the bearing.
See:

The elevator connection for the Std Cirrus is idiosyncratic to rig, not
difficult to mis-connect (in my hands), and requires careful checking
before flight. Not a place for second hand or non-standard parts.

Good Morning JJ,
I do not know how to post a picture on RAS. That is why I
added it on a mac web page.
I have scanned in a drawing from the Cirrus manual
that show the dimensions.

Or you can send a picture directly to me. My email
in on the webpage.

You can always compare yours to the one that I have posted
on this page.

John,
Thanks for the link for the ADs and Technical Notes.
It is a great site.

This glider has been complied with for the the 1970 Tech Note 278-2.
The C-Hook is the same one shown in this Tech Note.

I have not been able to anything that mentions using this larger
hook and bearing.

Any chance the larger is for a Cirrus77?

There's a chance that the larger part suits a Nimbus 2 as this is the same
set up as the the Std Cirrus but larger.
The Cirrus 75 uses a different system all together to retain and drive the
horizontal stabilizer using square drive dogs and a clevis pin arrangement
in the top of the fin.

Yeah, after I posted I thought about Nimbus 2, with all flying tail
like the Cirrus.

Our Janus C does not have an all flying tail. and I do not remember this "C
Hook" on installation.
