If you have read Peter Förthmanns books, then you should have noticed him explaining such things on pages 46-47 and there are pictures of two on page 46. I think you should take Peter's book seriously, he knows what he is talking about. I studied this topic about 5 years before I decided on the system and now my vife says: Why did you not buy this earlier. - Lauri Tarkkonen Are you refering to the auxillary rudder approach on pager 46? There is one wit an auxiliary and one on the main rudder. - Lauri Tarkkonen Ok, the trim tab on an exernal main rudder seems to be about page 51. 46-47 are trim tab on aux rudder, At least that's what I'm seeing here... I'm not quite sure how the H vane design works, though. Must be a "turn the corner" joint hidden at the bottom? Richard |
