Kenmore GW Increase v2…

Aside from the pain of sourcing and buying a 185 vertical stab, the Kenmore Air Gross Weight increase was really easy to install. During my research, all I could find out about the install was that you just needed to “install a doubler.” Where did it go? How did it work?

Well… here it is. Its a simple doubler that goes in the center of the horizontal stab between the leading edge. You remove a nutplate, cleco the doubler, drill out the holes, buck it in place, then reinstall the nutplate. Pretty simple operation lets you go (legally) from 2800 (in my case) to 3190lbs.

Now off to paint!
