weight added to rudder - why?
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:32 am
why would you ever want to add unnecessary weight to a rudder. this will reduce the rudder flutter margin. folks think they are making it better when they are making it worse. they just don't know the fundamentals. I believe Van's should issue a SB to address this issue. adding weight to a rudder is serious business.
this airplane crashed but unrelated to rudder flutter. he came up short of the runway.
