Do you think the KE manouvers suffer from the smaller rudder or does it make no difference?
Put it this way. I can still do KE loops on low rudder rate. It has no mixes for KE flight at all. It is now much smoother in the transition between level flight and KE etc.
I think the original rudder had just a bit too much bite as it went in. The nose tended to lift unles you delayed the input and then you had to "catch" it. Now I can finess it in. Been having a ball getting the local club guys to try and count my 32 point roll attempts. Bad rudder shows up a lot if you try and do this goofy stuff. Not hurting any more.. :-)
Not a scientific test buy definitely a fun one !

Eric.
