My plan has been to hinge my rudder from the right edge of the fuselage and rudder and actuate it with a pushrod out near the left surface of the rudder. This sort of arrangement is used in some of the Glasairs.
Being as it is highly asymmetric, are there any known issues with such a gadget? Where issues arise, how are they fixed?
The only obvious one that comes to mind is drag forces on the rudder will tend to make it cock to the right, which would seem to require a trim tab to balance it.
Any feedback on this topic is welcomed. Any Glasair folks who can give details?
