Re: Your time over again??? Rudder fit.

Thanks for your message Peter regarding your similar problem with an undersized
rudder and Andy's claim that they had never experienced the problem before ...

Ah ha!! You might be interested to know that Europa Aviation (US side) had the
same problem with their tri-gear! I seem to recall Bob Berube telling me they
refashioned the top of the rudder too.

I was interested to hear Europa's somewhat novel 'engineering' approach to the
problem to leave the rudder as - and remodel the fuselage - a bit like pulling
the kitchen table towards you if you find yourself sitting too far away from it!

Did they explain why they recommended this approach?
