I smashed the rudder like you did on your Funtana 90.

Kept flying, hovered around some more and ended up totaling the whole rudder and a wing.

How about someone removing the balancer on my rudder after it broke in flight.

I have bashed and bashed rudders for 5 years now....... I get tired of fixin them!!!! Most of thm we on GS'ers!!!! I'll have to dig thru some pics and ask around, but I have a "3 point" landing........ Rudder, Elevator, and tail wheel all being drug over asphalt, while in a harrier!!! That was my 32% Extra.... A few years back, I was in the AMA book, fixin my rudder. Wonder why??? I did a REALLY LOW pop up, and guess what hit the flippin ground??? Da Wudder!!!!! Ripped the hinges right out of the TE of the fin!!!! WHOOPS!!!

I'll have to dig around for that book, and snap a shot of that!!! That was TOO COOL, that day!!

Later on!

Hi Jim
I have the 41% Pitts in the works maybe a couple month to go, talking about rudder abuse, how about the video with some serious abuse while you were taping me?!!!!!!!!! Do you still have the video? here is more rudder abuse when the motor failed to respond after a long hover. See you soon I hope.

king160woody · 03-06-2006, 05:51 PM

the way u are supose to do it is touch and not hurt ur rudder.. like this

I'm not sure I was filming I think I was taking pictures. But I'll look. That was when you ripped the rudder counterbalance with your hand right? LOL
I'll look , keep in touch. You going to the Nall?
