Hey, just a crazy thought here. After reading what these guys are saying over there...

I am thinking of installing my little rudder instead of building the new bigger one.
What do you think?
Am I nuts?
...errrrr I mean, you know!
Should I bother making the -9 rudder and installing it?
What's your take?

It's all over but the flying! 800+ hours in only 3 years!

Well, that is what I was thinking too!
Besides it would make a good experiment to boot!
See how differently the plane flies compared to machine man's and see if the reduced tail-featherage increases speed at all.
I really doubt it will matter much. Nevertheless it will make my plane different from the rest. It will look almost "6 like", if you will!
