cjensen Well Known Member Feb 4, 2008 #1 I know this has been discussed before, but nothing relavent turned up in a search... Does anyone have any pics (or an accurate measurement) of how much is trimmed off the bottom rudder cap to eliminate tailspring interference?

cjensen Well Known Member Feb 4, 2008 #3 Thanks again Bill! I'll follow suit...forgot that it attaches on the outside of the rudder. That's the simple, easy way to go at it... I have the internal rudder stop from Jeff as well, so it's good to see that trimming the cap in this fashion will work with the stop.

N941WR Legacy Member Feb 4, 2008 #4 Happy to help. BTW, mine are riveted on and will not be glassed in. All that is an effort to keep the airplane as light as I can.
