Not sure your intentions but if your ordering the full RV-8 rudder, there is a kit. PN “RV-8/8A RUDDER“. This kit come with everything but the rod end bearings and Vertical stabilizer fiberglass cap. The Cap is VS-809.

You may not need this info but others viewing the thread might.
 
If you create a login at the Vans store with your serial number you can access the plans. That way you know you are getting the latest rev.

In any case, here is the vertical stab and here is the rudder.

You aren’t sticking a big -8 tail on your -4, are you? I’ve seen someone roll their own counterbalance rudder into a -4 rudder.. looks more appropriate size wise..either way, please make a YouTube video of whatever you end up doing!
 
Wrong Stew I think

Could be you are thinking of another " Stew" .....I couldn't make a YouTube video if my life depended on it ....nope it's for -8 ....

Check the revisions page also. I have found more recent revisions there, that weren’t on the plans page for my 14 build.
