Subject: RV8-List: 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

Garey, Seems you may be missing that the swing is 35 degrees  relative to 
the outside of the fuselage, not just to the VS. I just mounted my  rudder 
stops the other day and 35 degrees is easy with a plywood cutout of 35  
degrees on 90 degrees. Does that sound right? Need a fuselage to set the stops

to. Best of Luck, Bill of Georgia
