Hi,

As many others,I have a lot of pressure on the rudder and like to rake them as a solutions. I understand there are two options: an adjustment system or drill new holes (I got the template.
I'm not sure whether my rudders have the adjustable system. The rudders are black and the rudders including the cam originate from 1993. How can I see whether they have the adjustable raking system? How does the raking system work? When was it introduced? Can apply the sytem or should I drill the holes anyway.

Regards

Willem Marsman

I'm sure you have the adjustable rake rudders, which came on models for the last 15 years or so. The information you need is on the hobiecat.au website at this link
Good luck,
Jack

That's the site I was thinking of, but couldn't find earlier. Much more info than the link I posted.
