SECTION IV
MAJOR COMPONENT PARTS AND INSTALLATION
   (6) TO REMOVE THE VERTICAL STABIL. IZER~Remove the four nuts at the horizontal stabilizer fittings and four nuts at the fuselage and remove the stabilizer. (See Fig. 38.)

   c. ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION-To install the complete empennage, assemble the elevators to the stabilizers and then assemble the stabilizers to the fuselage.

     (1) Assemble the vertical stabilizer to the horizontal stabilizer using spacer 87-15-914 and to the fuse. lage by four studs.

     (2) Attach the elevators to the horizontal stabilizer and bolt on the center bearing caps securely.

     (3) Connect the push-pull link to the elevator horn.

     (4) Connect the flexible drive-shaft for the elevator and rudder trim tabs to the correct tab control units.

     (5) Insert a plumb bob on a bar through the rudder fittings on the vertical stabilizer and fuselage to check the alignment before installing the rudder. Incorrect tension of the vertical-stabilizer-to-horizontalstabilizer and the horizontal.,stabilizer-to-fuselage bolts may cause misalignment. When installing the lower rudder bearing cap, be careful to seat the thrust washer and dust shields in their proper grooves.

     (6) Install the rudder and connect the rudder cables to the rudder horn.

     (7) If the angular throw of the surfaces is to be checked by the use of rigging boards, it must be done before the tail fillets are installed.

   3. BODY GROUP.

   a. FUSELAGE - (Drawing No. 87-210-1501 and 87-210-1001.)

     (1) The fuselage proper is monocoque construction with bulb stringers, channel-section bulkheads and aluminum alloy 24ST smooth skin. Aluminum alloy (A17ST) flush head rivets are used on all exterior surfaces. The bulkhead behind the pilot's seat, Station 5, is designed to protect the pilot in the event of a complete nose-over. The jack point aft of the tail wheel doors is designed to protect the fuselage in case the tail wheel collapses. 		           (2) DUFFLE BAG (Drawing No. 87-621-1010). -The duffle bag is located through an access door on the left side of the fuselage between Stations 9 and 10.

     (3) SPECIAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTThese are carried in a pocket on the side of the duffle bag.

     (4) The starter crank and crank extension are located on the right side of the fuselage directly op. posite the access door.

     (5) The parking harness is enclosed in a stowage bag below the pilot's headrest.

     (6) The map case is located in the cockpit on the right side of the pilot's seat.

     (7) A first aid kit is attached to the map case.

     (8) The pilot's headrest is bolted to the armor plate at Station 5 bulkhead just above the parking harness stowage.

     (9) A safety belt is attached to the seat and shoulder straps are bolted to the bungee installation on the back of the seat.

     (10) A static ground is attached to the underside of the fuselage forward of the tail wheel doors.

     (11) A rear view mirror is installed on the upper windshield section to the left of the center line.

     (12) A windshield anti-glare shield is attached to the fuselage and gun sight yoke assembly.

   4. ALIGHTING GEAR.

   a. MAIN LANDING GEAR (Drawing No. 87-31-901-10).

   (1) GENERAL.

     (a) STRUTS. The two landing gear main wheels are installed in an identical manner on the under surface of each wing. Each landing gear has an air-oil shock absorber strut (Drawing No. 87-31-910) which rotates aft about trunnions on the top of the strut. During retraction, bevel gears rotate the strut approximately 90* so that the wheel lies flush in the wing. The landing gear has a retracting assembly and
