Working through the PAP chacks, I found that the upper half of my rudder skin is convex on the left side and concave on the right. "Finger Pressure" as suggested in the PAP helped a little (but not completely) on the convex side but not on the concave surface. Ant suggesteions on getting that side of the rudder to pop out? It will have an effect on rudder trim.

Rookie ?

Rookie question. What's a PAP? The only PAP I know of has absolutely nothing to do with airplanes...

PAP= Production Acceptance Procedure

Apparently unique to the E-LAS RV-122

You need to smear a bit more to fully explain this PAP thing: where is this doc available?

It comes with . .

the final kit. Several pages. Final things to check before and after first flight.

Yeah, but how do I fix

the concave side of the rudder-- how do you pop that surface out?

Just an idea......would this work? Suction cups from Harbor Freight.

Wayne did you solve your rudder problem.

I will be installing my ruder skin soon.
Do you have a photo of the area of concern?
If so could post it or send it to me
