AN ALTERNATE WATER RUDDER
FOR LAND CRAFT
Here's how Elmer Hanes Jr. attached a clever
water rudder to his Eagle 63 for float flying. Elmer simply drilled a hole
completely through the fuselage just forward of the vertical fin.
Into this hole he glued a piece of inner Nyrod tubing which
was long enough to stick out both the top and bottom of the fuselage about
an eight of an inch. A piece of music wire with a brass rudder soldered on,
a nose wheel steering arm, and some wheel collars attach the rudder assembly
to the fuselage through this plastic tube. A linkage wire with adjustable
clevis connecting the steering arm to the airplane's rudder control horn are
all that is needed to put you in business. All very neat and simple, and the
neatest thing is how easily
It is removed for going back to land flying.
