Rudder movement - Apprentice
 

I have an Apprentice 15e with one serious crash but, all restored. Flew "ok" yesterday but, need a few tweaks (motor mount & front wheel). After correcting these, I was checking everything and they rudder moves a lot more left than it does right. Probably 2x as much. I do not know if it was like that in the beginning as I was only checking for trim (centering).


Any suggestions on what to do, if anything?

Thanks,
Regis.

Well, I got it. Disconnected all linkage, centered travel of the servo arm, adjusted linkages for rudder and front wheel to be centered.

Nice to get back to the things that would have been automatic fixes 25 years ago.

If the rudder was working right before the crash and you hadn't unhooked anything, you may ought to check for something broken or bent. A loose servo mount could cause your problem, or a control horn that's been tweaked could too.

Yup. The mishap caused the problem. Most likely there will be more to the repair than Regis has mentioned.
