The restoration team removed, refurbished (or remade) and reinstalled each component from the original vertical stabilizer, one-at-a-time, so everything stayed in alignment, negating the need for a fixture. AirCorps Aviation’s CAD department has produced a rendering of the AT-10’s horizontal stabilizer.

The problem is that the airflow from the propeller goes over the horizontal stabilizer, which produces a downward force (and causes the nose to pitch up). It may seem counterintuitive to reduce your power during a spin. After all, we’re in a stall, and the first step of a normal stall recovery is to increase power.

It most commonly forms on the leading edges of your aircraft, including the wings, tail, and horizontal stabilizer, as well as on the propeller blades and pitot tubes. Because rime ice forms quickly and has a rough texture, it tends to build up in these forward-facing surfaces that are directly exposed to the oncoming airflow.
