Ahoy all!

Just finished the elevator mod to prevent skin flexing/cracking at the outer end of the spar as per the photos in the archives.

Question. Is there a valid reason, or need, to apply the same mod to the Rudder Horn? Or is it a waste of time to do it because there is no lead weight in that horn?

Thanx all

No one has ever reported a need to do the rudder apparently because
there are no lead counter-weights in the rudder tip.

rudder does not need mod, elevators have weights in tips so have more
forces
on them, leave rudder alone its okay so far
