 |

Garey,
Set your max rudder deflection after the VS is installed on the aircraft.
It's easy following Van's instructions.

ing to verify the 35 degree travel on the Rudder to the Left and Right of N
eutral. -Seen no Archieves on how to measure the angle other than laying
the VS and Rudder on the work bench and using "Smart Level" to measure the
deflection in the Up & Down positions. -Must be "super simple" to measure
it, but for some reason the method is not evident to me (now).
Appreciate your help, - -Garey Wittich - Santa Monica, CA

Garey,
On a large piece of cardboard I drew a large protractor making off the 35 degrees left and right. With the rudder and horizontal stabilizer in place, I placed my cardboard protractor under the rudder centering it on the rudder hinge pins. Then I swung the rudder left and right to make sure it had full and unobstructed swing room. My airplane is set up for 33 degrees left and 33 degrees right and that has given me all the rudder I have ever needed.
