Beechcraft D18 1.5m Manual

Tail Installation

1. Connect the clevis on the elevator pushrod to the outermost hole on the

elevator control horn (A), and slide the retaining tube over the clevis.

2. Align the tail section with the fuselage and insert the drive pin (B) from the

rudder pushrod into the slot in the bellcrank (C).

3. Secure the tail section into position using the included 2 screws (2.6 x10mm

self tapping) (D) using a Phillips screwdriver.

Disassemble in reverse order.

After the tail is installed, ensure the rudder pin is secured in the bellcrank by

attempting to move the rudders. There should be resistance if tried to move left or

right. If the rudder can be moved freely in one direction, but not the other, the pin is

likely not engaged in the rudder bellcrank. Remove the tail section and ensure the

pin is correctly engaged.
