[rebel-builders] Rudder Trim - non Murphy
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 12:00 pm
G'day Stan ...
I'd be using 6061 T6 (what the Rebel family are made from)
It's much less hassle corrosion wise than 2024 T3 (Cessna & Piper metal) & it resists cracking when bent a WHOLE LOT better !

I have been reading this forum for awhile now and am planning on building a
Murphy when I finish my current experimental (fabric, 100mph) I realize this is
a Murphy site however with all the expertise here I was hoping someone can
provide some advice. What aluminum alloy is recommended for a fixed rudder
trim tab? I have been told a soft alloy to withstand adjusting without
cracking, and also told to use a tempered alloy to provide resistance to
deflection during flight. My wife and I plan on tagging along with the
Ramblers this Summer and hope to meet some of you.
Thanks Stan
