Hey guys, I was looking at a friends model V build and saw that the rudder pedal torque tube was not beefed up like mine. I have a strap going around the shaft tube and welded to the pedal torque tube so it will not break like Trent Palmers on one of his videos. By the way I can't find that video anymore, it was about him and two other airplane buddy's he was flying with all broke down at various times during that episode. He must have removed it.
Anyway does anyone have any info for this beef up, I couldn't find a SB or any other documentation to show him about getting his rudder system modified so that won't happen.

Bruce Lina did an "in the airplane" version of the rudder pedal fix, maybe he can share
the pictures, or the link to the thread?
