Rudder linkage rookie mistake at factory :-/ "Advice" always check all your linkages folks, you know it makes sense!!
The rudder linkage push rod on my HSD T33 was a tad short but not a problem for me as I changed them all anyway.
What I found was that the rudder linkage had been trimmed in length but with side cutters!! we all should be aware this is a rookie mistake.
The end of the push rod is then splayed wide and has a chisel point, this ruins the plastic ball link when it screwed in and can let go under load, nasty
This cant bee seen with a simple visual inspection, you would have to unscrew the linkage to see if its OK.


end now wider than the thread

other end untouched
