| Subject: | Measure RUDDER Deflection (Swing) Angle |
Greetings:
Have my VS mounted to the work bench along with the Rudder attached. -Try
ing to verify the 35 degree travel on the Rudder to the Left and Right of N
eutral. -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

Lots of different approaches to this but for "super simple" just secure a cheap
plastic protractor under the rudder, zeroed with the rudder in neutral and deflect
away. I got fancy and made a cardboard deflection gauge when I did mine
but was not necessary.
