My fuselage is almost 100mm wide at the bottom of the tail, but rudder
is only 85 mm, hence nasty looking gap even at full port deflection, and
possible aerodynamic disturbances. Have reshaped it by cutting V slits in
the bottom, resting it in a rigid template of the right shape, and laying
up with bid . Any one else had to do this ?
Incidentally, as checking +-30 deg deflection of rudder can't readily be
done from rudder sides, (due to wedge shape and profile of fin sides),
drawing the positions full size on card and cutting it into a template
(hung over top of fin) is well worth while.
