  • Rudder Hinge Spacing

    Did the rudder hinge spacing change sometime since 2004? I looked for a change in the Engineering Notices but didn't see anything. VR3 drilled the tail post at 37 1/4" as specified in the drawing but my Avipro rudder hinges are spaced at 38 3/4". No a big deal, just wondering what I'm missing.

    I didn't see anything in the engineering notices either. I see my LSA plans show 38 3/4" spacing. Is it possible the hinges were welded on with the wrong jig at Avipro?

      Why didn't you guys just tell me I was an idiot? The top hinge is free to float on the tube and I didn't know that. All is good.

        At least there's not a lingering problem to take up your time! Nice surprises, hopefully there are more of these along the way

          I think the lingering problem is me...not sure how to deal with that.

            I think they call that the "human condition"
