1. General
The rudder is a one-piece unit attached to hinge arms on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. The rudder hinge line lies on the 70 % line of the vertical stabilizer and rudder assembly.
You can move the rudder up to 30 degrees either side of neutral. Three servo control units control the movement of the rudder.
The rudder primary structure contains laminations of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP).

Rudder3. Description
A. Rudder Structure
(1) The primary structure of the rudder has a front spar, two side shells and an upper rib and a lower rib. Seven rudder attachment fittings and three actuator fittings are attached to it. A bearing at the rudder attachment fitting No. 6 holds the vertical load of the rudder. It is possible to remove the bearing.
(2) The rudder has a tip which contains light alloy. Countersunk screws attach the rudder tip to the primary structure.
(3) A fillet fairing is installed to the lower end of the rudder primary structure. It closes the clearance below the rudder primary structure when the rudder is in the neutral position.
(4) There are three hoisting points installed in each side shell. Each hoisting point has a sleeve with threads, bonded to the side shell and a hoisting lug. When they are not in use, the hoisting points make a smooth surface with the outer contour of the side shells. When you use the hoisting points you must remove the hoisting lugs and install them in opposite position. Then the eye ends come out of the side shells contour.
(5) There are four static dischargers installed on the top of the rudder, which will release static electricity from the aircraft.
