Most RL28 owners know the helm can be quite heavy. The traditional modification of extending the top pintle doesn't really address rudder balance. I have used a simple but effective way to properly balance the rudder and achieve proper rudder balance and a helm that needs a couple of fingers to turn. The video can be viewed Balancing a rudder on a trailer sailer on my youtube channel along with other RL28 cruising and improvement videos. Cheers Mark
