Rudder

Posted by

Assembled the rudder today.

Pretty straightforward. Printed KAI has the wrong rivet size of 3.2 mm rather than 4 mm in one place. The latest dropbox KAI is correct. Took some time and care to get the composite rudder top to fit nicely. Did a dry fit of the skin, aligns perfectly. Will await inspection before riveting up. Glued some aluminium M3 washers to the inside of the composite rudder cap.

Checked alignment and hinges on VS. Plenty of deflection 20 degrees required almost 40 available before clashing with VOR antenna.
