ABSTRACT:
A tool mountable on a helicopter blade for selectively bending the trailing edge trim tab of the blade about a selected axis along the span of the trim tab, and including a device to counterbalance the weight of the trim tab bending mechanism so that the true degree of bending of the trim tab can be determined at any time during the bending operation. The tool also includes apparatus for simultaneously calibrating the counterbalance device and the mechanism used to measure the degree to which the tab has been bent, prior to commencing the bending operation.
