Seems like you could get impaled by those upper arms that are sticking up 3-4 inches in a flip or pitchpole. Is that right?

Well the bungee may helps to keep the rudderdown, but the they are actually locked down by a plastic nut and the opposite on the casting Attached Files 74742-VentiloRudder.JPG (24 downloads) Last edited by alutz; 05/01/06 03:20 PM.
