Currently working on a 4*40 kit and read up on suggestions and tips on many web sites and the forums here. LOTS of great info! One of the modifications I would like to incorporate is the larger rudder mentioned by some. Somewhere I read that the 4*40 has a tendancy to drop the nose when using the rudder, and I was wondering if making the rudder larger will make this tendancy worse. Anybody with larger 4* rudders out there notice this?

There was also a mention of a rudder modification made by the original designer when he designed his next plane that eliminated this tendancy. Unfortunatley, I haven't been able to find a description of this modification. Anybody know what this modification is and can provide a sketch to help guide me in my search for a better rudder?

This thing is sure going together a lot faster than the Kadet Senior did
