REFLECTOR: Reflector Digest, Vol 103, Issue 81 - Rudder spring fix

Mon Oct 28 16:55:34 CDT 2013

There is a much easier fix. Cut off about 2 fingers of each spring. It makes for a much more positive return and is only a 10 minute fix. There are pictures of the fix on my blog - Marksvelocity.blogspot.com and on Andy Millin's blog kal-soft.com/velocity. Mine are under Oshkosh 2010. Andy's blog is searchable, so just search rudder spring.
