After re-checking the dimensions and the mounting position for the
rudder stop it still allows the rudder to swing too far in both
directions before contacting the rudder horn. The rudder barely
touches the elevator in one direction and almost touches it in the
other. I am supposed to have one and one eight inch clearance instead.
Has any one had the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Ed in Birmingham

Yes the directions are wrong, you'll have to make new ones. Even the
ones on Vans are not like the planes. Vans looks just like the ones I
had to make. They really need to change those direction and drawings.
Look here for the details

Ed,
I believe the plans are in error with regards to the rudder stops on
the -7/7A. Cut some new stops and file the rear edge of the stops down a
bit at a time until the correct distance from the elevators and proper
travel of the rudder are obtained.
Piece of cake.

Jeff Bordelon sells a real nice internal rudder stop... nicer looking, light weight and more practical.
