That is conservative beyond comprehension. We're reducing
rudder effectiveness by a minuscule amount, especially if
properly faired. If the rudder were rendered completely
ineffective, turns are uncoordinated and we just need a rwy
aligned with the wind -- applicable to first flight only.
If down low in trail of the fuselage (mine's there), the
boundary layer is so thick that Learjet's flight test
instrumentation wouldn't know it's there.
