• Checking the rudder pot

• Protractor placement

• Aligning the rudder

Rich Grimm checks to see that the lower mounting of the rudder is solid and that the rudder pot does not have any slop in it.

Pete Zell places the protractor carefully between the rudder panels. The edges of the protractor fit exactly between the panels so that the protractor is pointing in the same direction as the rudder.

After Pete accurately places the protractor, Rich Grimm aligns the fan part of the protractor with the center guy wire. The marks on the protractor will tell the angle of the rudder.
