Hi Everyone,
Im new to the RV world (actually I have an F1 Rocket) and I came across something that sort of perplexes me - apparently this arrangement is the same on most RVs so hence my post here.
Does anyone know why there is only one bolt (the lone bolt that connects the elevator pushrod to both elevators) connecting the left and right elevators together?
With only having a trim tab on one elevator, I would expect some reasonably high "torsional" loads to be carried from one elevator to the other through this one bolt.
I was thinking about drilling another set of holes in the elevator horns, and connecting together with another an3 bolt with a proper sized spacer between - this would greatly increase the torsional rigidity between the left and right elevator.
Thoughts?
Cheers
Tom
