I got yesterday a tip to look for
Europa News #39 page 14
and heureka there it was:
The perfect but human way to check
rudder travel. I completed it at once
and it took only 5 minutes to do the job.
I know accurately my rudder movings,
they are about symmetrical and am
happy enough now.
I recommed this Andys simple but
effective method for everyone.
