Rudder alignment

Post by Steven Tunnacliffe »

Hi All

I remember reading in an issue of Newsprint an article on rudder alignment and was just wondering if I can find the same article on the web site :?:

I have searched the Archive (maybe using wrong terms) but have come up with lots about Rudders but not what I am looking for, does anyone know if its on the site or am I going to have to thumb through back issues till I find it.

I thought it may be in the Tips area but I cant see it, when found it may be worth adding to the tips section :idea:

Steve,

Have you looked at George Carter's article in the Tips Section on "Supercharging your dart15"? It has a section on the subject.

Hi Martin

Yes I have found that just finished reading it, came back to chat to see if anyone had answered and and there you were :D

I seem to remember the Article in the Newsprint had pics and a further explanation.

But George's article "supercharge your Dart15" Helps, Come to think of it i think George Carter probably wrote the Article in the newsletter.

By the way how is the Boat cam project proceeding :?:

Hi Steve,

I've played with the camera attached too the bottom of the mast pointing aft on a day with no wind but lots of sun, interesting angle should be good in the stronger winds. I'll probably try and get some footage this weekend at the Teach-In by attaching it to various bods boats since I'm out of action for a week or so.
