Hi all
A couple of questions
1) Where do I find torque values for the #6 structural screws that I
have used to attach the rudder stops to the lower rudder hinge?
2) I have just started the rudder and will be adding electric rudder
trim. Before I make some serious cuts in the rudder skin I want to do
some research into how the rudder is balanced, and thus make a few
calculations. Where are the instructions about how the rudder is
balanced? I only have the empanage kit home at present and I can't find
anything regarding balancing.
3) When I rivetted the lower rudder hinge onto the VS rear spar it
seems the rivets called out by Vans are a bit short. Did anyone else
run into this? Also it seems some rivets are also too long. If the
shop head is the proper diameter, does it matter if it's a little bit
thicker?
Sorry for the neophyte type questions but I gotta get this right.
Thx, Rick
