Are you using the new airfoil? If you are, then your rudder post will be 34" s above the top longeron or about 44" total. After discussions with Mark L. I raise my rudder post up to 40"s making the rudder 50"s overall. I also extended the horizontal surface outward. Full width is now 84"s. Ele

That's called a stress riser. That's not a material problem, that's a design problem.the same problem happens with like materials, or even the same piece of material. On Sep 27, 2015 3:17 PM, "Jeff Scott via KRnet" wrote: > > > > > > > > has anyone combined fiberglass with carbon fiber > > >in t
