Today I attached the rudder for the final time. That was fter taking it on and off 6 times to check and adjust the rodends to the correct length. I was short a couple of stop nut and Aerozona was closed today, but the Fellow # Atlantic parts 'gave' me 2 !!!!!!!!! This is a fairly simple task, But it has been almost 3 years since I 1st set the rod ends, and I ended up taking them completely out, setting them, then seeing the 'guide;ine; in the plans to set them to 3/4" redoing all of them to that guideline, and then fitting fine tuning, taking everything off, Torquing the stop buts and applying Torque seal to everything that could move, and then reinstalling. I had previously picked up all the necessary hardware and was able to install the AN3 10A bolts, washers and nuts, and get them Torque Sealed. Last steo fo the day was to attach the rudder cables. Fortunately I was able to finde the AN6 (drilled) bolts, and installed, torqued, and inserted the cotter keys. I was a little concerned about the rudder contacting the edge of the Vert Stab skin when fully deflected to either side, but checking the plans the 'full' deflection is WAY more than the 35 Max degrees, so I'm assuming the ruderpedals will reduce the throw somewhat. (We'll seee....)
