Howdy group,
It's cold down here in Texas today...
I've been a lurker for quiet some time. I'm afraid of heights and don't
really believe in airplane's, I've heard they are really dangerous. I can
barely stand on a ladder without getting scared.
All that said, we mounted our vertical stabilizer straight with the world,
no offset in the front to counter P-factor and torque. I was just wondering
what the experts here thought about this. Will I end up having to put a
degree or two in, will it be noticeable, or can it be fixed with a ground
adjustable tab on the rudder or what? I would like to know in inches how far
the
offset is (and in which direction) it should be, half inch, one inch or whatever
some of you are flying with. The A-75 does have an offset, I don't remember
exactly how much; and how many flying have no offset...
Thanks in advance,
Max L. Davis

Steve,
I appreciate your picture, I've seen it before. My issue is that mine is
installed, sans adjustment apparatus. I'm just wondering what to expect during
the flight phase. I think Chuck G.'s is straight like mine, but I can't
remember for sure.

I would strongly suggest you build in a means of adjusting both the
vertical and horizontal stabilizers for trim adjustments. You will be
glad you did if you discover that you need it.

Hey Mad Dawg,
You're right, my vertical fin is straight. After flying for a couple of
years with a very slight pressure on the right rudder bar, I decided to
install a non adjustable trim tab on the rudder, similar in design to the ones
that
I have on the flippers. I used a 5" piece of balsa wood trailing edge (from
the hobby store for R.C. planes), and duct taped it to the center of the
trailing edge of the rudder. I radiused the leading edge of the balsa, to match
the
trailing edge of the rudder, with sand paper wrapped around an ink pen. Put
a slight angle on each end, so it can blend in. Duct tape it at an
approximate angle, and go fly. I've adjusted the angle twice, and now I have a
permanent angle, that allows neutral pressure on the rudder bar. Now I remove
the
duct tape, and glue it on at that angle, cover it with fabric & paint. Using
this method makes a clean looking install, and no screws are needed.
I've got a picture of the method here - http://nx770cg.com/Fuselage.html
Fine tune the pitch trim with the flying wires on the tail, by adjusting
the turnbuckles to raise or lower the leading edge of the horizontal stab.
