Default R-405PD - To trim or not to trim?

Hi team,
Since I'm building the 'A' model, I was thinking of trimming the R-405PD rudder horn a bit, removing the holes that would normally attach the tailwheel steering links.



Any problems doing this?

Thanks in advance,
James.

I did it. The only problem would be if you decided to convert to tail dragger later on. It looks nicer for the A models.

JMHO
