REFLECTOR: Rudders on lower winglet

[KeithHallsten]

Hiroo,

So far you have a vote each way, so it's not clearly a consensus!  I think the manual should get at least several votes.

I just finished my lower winglets, and I used the same logic Dave Black outlined.  Actually, since others have mentioned having dinged the lower winglets in crosswinds, I filled my lower winglets with pour foam so they will be easier to repair should the need arise!  Then I made a 1-bid closeout in the rudder well after fitting the rudders and rudder bellcranks.

  Hello folks!



  There seems to be two schools of thoughts on the lower winglet and the treatments of the rudders.  I have SUV (standard wing).



  I received the pre-molded lower winglet with my kit.  They are hollow fiberglass pieces that will fit below the wing tip.  I have seen some photographs of Velocities that have rudders that extend to the lower portion of the winglet.  I have also seen some that stops at the wing bottom and the lower winglet is entirely fixed in place.



  What is the community consensus on this subject?



  Hiroo
