[NSRCA-discussion] How much rudder do you really use?

[Verne Koester]

Anthony,
If you bevel both the leading edge of the rudder and the trailing edge of 
the fin, it's quite easy to get a full 45 degrees of throw without forcing 
your rudder horn so far back because of the angle you had to sand in the 
rudder. You'll only have to sand half the angle into the rudder as you do 
when the fin post is left flat. I've done this on my last 4 or 5 planes for 
that exact reason. Hope this helps.

Verne
