Just mounted the rudder for the first time. Was checking the swing movement. Vans says to measure 46.125" from elevator OB tip to the rudder TE to check this. Where along the rudder TE should the measurement be taken? I guess from the bottom corner. Anyway, the rudder swings a bit more than this each way and binds with the VS skin before contacting the rudder stops. Even wants to touch the elevators when they are in neutral. Can't be right. Any suggestions and pictures for getting the rudder stops properly modified, etc? Thanks!
