Ruddervator horns

Postby tommywatson » Fri Apr 15, 2016 10:17 pm

Hello Waiex people,
I'm about to bend my control horns, I was wonrding if the wisdome here could tell me if this is the right direction? https://goo.gl/2xS5gi
I've looked at the plans and they say "down" and this would be correct but I can't match this up with what I'm seeing on the 3 view underneath...

Thanks!

Watch out for the angle. Seems to me there was an update on the service bulletin. You will be under-sized unless your plans have been changed.

yep. plans say 15 deg, but the update corrects it to 20 deg. Definitely worth going through all of the bulletins on the website and marking up your plans in advance.

Thanks guys, I checked the updates for my kit, I bent everything to 20 degrees, turned the first set of hockey sticks into scrap by over tweaking them to about 25 degrees, the second set worked out ;-)

D'oh. Just bent these to the 15 in the plans yesterday. Looks like its back to the shop to bend them a bit further.
