Default RE: Another Skymaster Viper

Hi Murray

Here are the pics of the rudder mod, making it removable for travel, it's only a 20 minute job (after the hysol has dried). I first drilled a hole under the stab and in line with the metal clamp which holds the rear carbon rod in place. Then on the inside of the fuz i added a fillet of hysol either side of where the front ali peg sits. Then with the rudder in place and locked by the rear clamp, i drilled a 2.5mm hole in the side of the fuz and through the ali peg. This was then tapped to 3mm and a countersink ground, so the 3mm bolt sits flush with the fuz when in place.

hope that helps

Duncan
