Hi all,

My mechanic tells me that my rudder travel to the left is only 18 degrees and 30 degrees to the right. Apparently this is a common fault as there is an error in the drawings of a bell crank or something but it's easily fixed with taking a grinder to the rudder stop.

Thought I'd mention it to others, might be worth checking on your machine too.

I'm looking forward to sharper stall turns to the left.

Cheers,
