Rudder hinges are always on the centerline rather than left or right surface/corner.
The center is the most awkward position to structurally install a hinge.
We all know p-factor creates an assymetrical use of the rudder.
My suggestion is mount them on new designs so the anti-p-factor-rudder deflection has the lions share of assymetrical surface deflection.
Is that too deep or novel for any of you. Or scary?
Tell me your observations or concerns please.
