Nachtwulf Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Did the Sea fury have any offset to the vertical tail plane to counter torque?..and if it did, does that mean it had to be changed when some of the privately owned aircraft switched over to the R-2800?

darthspud Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 The FAA one (one that keeps crashing) certainly didn't. The 2 seater i saw in Shaibah didn't either, but that was in poor repair. Both were perpendicular to the rudder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I've never read anything to suggest an offset rudder, and photos I've seen do not really suggest any offset. However I'm not known as a Sea Fury expert and look forward to hearing comments from more knowledgeable contributors.... Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 @Nachtwulf, According to the information in the site I have linked below, the Sea Fury vertical fin had a zero degree offset. Hope the site is helpful for your project. Mike http://soyuyo.main.jp/seafury/seafurye-1.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
