    Default Setting rudder deflection

    Could someone give me an estimate of how much needs to be removed from the stops to increase my rudder deflection from 22 degrees to the 25 degrees needed for the airfoiled rudder? Getting those bolts in the covered rudder was no easy task. I haven't removed the bolts and rudder yet and don't look forward to doing it.

    Thanks Greg. I am glad you directed me to that thread. I would have been so focused on the rudder that it wouldn't have occurred to me to avoid hitting the elevator. I'm sure I set the deflection to 25 degees earlier inthe build, but after covering I adjusted the hinges slightly. I appreciate your help. I took a break from the rudder and started working on my panel. That is a lot more fun!
