hi,
if you don't trim the weights, the two combined are heavy enough to
compensate for trim motor and paint.

I had the same question.the plans are correct. If memory serves me
correctly, the dashed line has the skin edge into the wind.

On the Rudder, does the 913 counter balance skin go over or under the 901
rudder skin. The plan makes it hard to tell. It would seem logical to have
it over so the join running is with the air flow - I am just not sure.

Paul,
If you look in the archives there was a discussion on this about a year ago.

When setting the trailing double flush joint on the rudder I have noticed that
the AEX wedge impedes when fitting the top fibre glass tip. If it were to cut
1/2 inch shorter the tip would slide neatly on top of AEX. What have others done
cut a section out of AEX wedge or simply cut a section from the fibre glass
fairing tip ?
Thank you
Paul Walter

Hi Paul,
The counterbalance skin goes over the left and right skins. I edge rolled the
counterbalance skin to put a slight angle on it so it sits nicely flat on all
edges against the skins.

Hooboy, I hope it works for you, because I think you
are incorrect in putting the counterbalance skin on
top. The plans show two areas each side that require
you to taper the edges of the CB skin, not unlike
honing a razor blade. This provides a gentle ramp for
the rudder skins to lay onto, reducing any possibility
of kinking the skin near the joint of the CB and
rudder skin. Reference Drawing 7, section G 10, and G
5

Does anyone know who makes a tow bar for the RV-7A ?? I bought one about 5 years
ago for a RV-6A but don't remember who the guy was? It was real simple and worked
fine etc. Had a spring loaded pin that secured it into the socket heads
of the screws that hold on the nose wheel pant.
Larry, RV-7A about ready to fly!!
