I was using a straight edge to make the rudder fit into the stabilizer cavity and the surface of the rudder to be flush with the stabilizer. Lance N., Jerry Parks and Pat O'Brian all said "you need the rudder to extend out into the airstream to prevent the separation of the airflow over the control surface". ===== Charlie Kohler >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
