Posting here in the general forum since I suspect the answer to this question applies to all models. I tried searching but didn't really see it answered anywhere.
I am building an 8 with a QB fuselage and among the many tasks the QB factory has accomplished for me is the installation and sizing of my rudder stops. I am hanging and connecting my rudder. Using a protractor I find that the rudder deflection falls within the acceptable range from chapter 15 and it does not exceed the minimum distance from the elevators when the rudder is fully deflected as shown in RV-8 DWG 85.
The issue is, I get uneven deflection from one side to the other.
The rudder deflects 3 degrees more to the right than it does to the left.
The question is, how critical is it to have equal deflection side to side.
