heloman1 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'm almost finished building the horror of the Italeri nee ESCI AEW Skyraider kit. Whilst sanding and cleaning the fus, I noticed that the fin/rudder is symetrical about the centreline. Is this so and I ask because the Mongram AD- kit I built some years back had the fin/rudder offset to one side (port if I remember correctly). I'm not about to hack the model apart just to satisfy accurasy, I'm too far down the road for that. I'm just interested... Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The Skyraider did indeed have some offset built into the rudder. this site talks a bit bout it and shows some pictures. You have to scroll about halfway down: http://tailspintopics.blogspot.cz/2011/10/ad-skyraider-modeling-notes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailspin Turtle Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The auxiliary fins mounted on the horizontal stabilizer were also angled three degrees to the left. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
