SR3500 - Rudder
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:47 pm
Hi all you SR builders!
Glad I was too "lazy" to mix chromate on Friday afternoon and rivet all the
rudder "fix" items back together (to get to the "latest" 2500 rudder
configuration). I was rumaging through the boxes of misc parts this morning
and found an RU420 piece of bent material. While trying to figure out what
it was for I found a one pager in the "3500 upgrade" instructions. It is to
reinforce the cable attach horns, along with the use of some .040 Raw stock,
that doesn't seem to have been shipped as part of the (mine anyways) upgrade
kit. I have lots of raw material, but you may not and may get stuck here!!
SO if you haven't finished your rudder, don't put it together for the last
time until you're sure that you have all the pieces drilled to it, that
belong on it! If you have it finished, then start drilling out those rivets
for the horn reinforcement (and the other "fix kit", that I just did, if you
have an older serial #)!!
