I have always had the rudder arms facing inward. I was working on the 20 rudders and noticed the upper castings are stamped L & R, but if you put them on designated side, they point outward. Which is the proper way?

They should definitely point inward.

The stamp was for the molder apparently, not to show left vs right in use. Pretty silly that they didn't mark them for proper use though. This issue comes up again and again.
