Maybe draw a center line on the bench and then from a point that is the
centerline of the hinges draw lines out at 35 degrees (protractor) on
each side of the centerline on the bench. Swing the rudder and watch
for the trailing edge to line up with the 35 degree lines at the end of
travel.

Garey,
The critical part is Van=92s =93additional instruction=94 that states
that the
distance between rudder and trailing edge of the elevator shall not be
closer than one inch. After complying with this instruction, I found
that the rudder swing in each direction was a few degrees less than the
35=B0 callout. Additionally, the rudder stop dimensions were different
from the plans to meet the 1=94 callout.

Greetings:
Have my VS mounted to the work bench along with the Rudder attached.
Trying to verify the 35 degree travel on the Rudder to the Left and
Right of Neutral. Seen no Archieves on how to measure the angle other
than laying the VS and Rudder on the work bench and using "Smart Level"
to measure the deflection in the Up & Down positions. Must be "super
simple" to measure it, but for some reason the method is not evident to
me (now).
Appreciate your help, Garey Wittich Santa Monica, CA

Fellow RV Drivers:
I took a trip to Aruba over the past 5 days in my RV-8. Good fun!
I've put pictures and text up on my blog:
rv-8.blogspot.com
Techie details of interest that I didn't add: with light speed
ignition and Whirlwind prop I'm doing 160 knots at 10,000 ft buring 6.7
G/hr or less. It made for plenty of fuel margin for a trip like this.
endurance is something like 6:30 including a climb to 10,000.

I'm fabricating the spinner on my RV7 and am havening difficulty in
determining the cut-out profile to suite a Hartzell VP prop.
Doe's anyone know the angle the blades turn through from fine to course or
ideally where I can get a cutting template.
Thanks for your help

Maybe this will help. I think it's from Van's site.
