Hi all-
I installed the (now) standard RV- 9 rudder on my 7A, but I am going to install an 8 rudder and test which I prefer.
Question- and maybe I am just missing something. The 9 VS/Rudder has a taller glass tip (on VS) and the counter balance/horn of the rudder is taller too vs. the 8 rudder.
On my VS, the glass tip is not removable so I somehow need to add some height to the top rudder tip, unless I am just missing something. I need to measure, but I think I need to add 1-1.5" of height to the rudder tip on the 8 rudder.
I know others have made this move, so rather than reinvent the wheel I am looking for advice- or someone to point that I am a dope.
Attached a pic of my plane/rudder and a beautiful RV-8 to show what I am talking about
Thanks- Dan
