Lak 12 Disassembly

I am helping an estate decide what to do with a LAK 12. I would like to disassemble the ship and trailer it to our club hangar so we can inspect and assess the overall condition of the ship. We don't have a flight manual for the ship and I am somewhat baffled by the attachment of the 2 piece horizontal stabilizer. Can someone tell me how to remove the horizontal stab on this ship?

Thanks,

Paul

Sawzall?

I think one half has a stub that sticks through, and the other side slides onto that stub. There will be a removable pin that goes through the half you remove first. They slide off spanwise.

In all seriousness, Check he

Looks like a pin inserts through the leading edge of the stabilizer. Page 16 of the pdf, page 15 of the document.

Good Luck.

If you pull out the pin to it`s limit and then turn through
90deg it stays open. Obviously reverse on rigging.

Nice to see such a comprehensive manual for a change.
