Butch Posted May 10, 2021 Report Posted May 10, 2021 I am attempting to rig the stabilizer and elevator on my 1957 M20. The original SM instructions are for the wood empennage, and mine has the metal conversion kit installed. I am not sure if that changed the the specs and am wondering if anyone has the SB M20-170-1, ( metal empennage kit), to check if there are any differences. The TCDS for my model matches the original SM, elevator +24, -10.5, stabilizer -3.5 + 1.5. Thanks, Butch
mike20papa Posted May 10, 2021 Report Posted May 10, 2021 I went thru this process when I swapped out metal tails on my A model. Years back .. (?) .. I think I made an incident board and remember this SB. I just went to the Mooney site and I think this SB, while not the particular one that shows the wood tail being replaced with the metal kit, it is similar and has the rigging instructions. https://www.mooney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/M20-Replacement-Metal-Tail.pdf Check it out and best of luck, you can always try contacting Mooney directly regarding this particular SB.
