Default Grob Twin Astir getting


And, Mike, Twin Astirs (Retract gear, at least) have a side hinged

rudder.

Right side if memory serves me correctly.

Steve,

All of ours are center hinged with the rudder pushrod actuator
connection on the right side. Some have had foam rubber
weatherstripping seals installed on both sides inside the tail fin.
We have just done the elevator pushrod TN inspection on 4
(with one left to go), so we have had to pull the rudder off
on all of them just recently.
