Success and Some Mistakes

Finally! The steering system works perfect! The Valkyrie can now be turned and controlled with the rudder pedals easily. In fact, it turns a little better than expected. It even handles being towed well now. However, I did mount the AOA beam a few inches too far forward on the rudder board so, as you can see in the pictures, as soon as the boat hits about four or five knots the board takes a sudden nose dive. I should be able to fix this by simply sliding the attachment point aft.
