From: sbayless <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Rudder leakage To: [email protected] Date: Monday, March 15, 2010, 9:15 AM Folks: Noticed an issue when I put "Liebchen" on her jack stands last fall. I have water weeping out of some tiny cracks in the rudder. I'm not sure where the water is coming from, but it could be either a crack around the rudder post at the top of the rudder, or those small cracks I mentioned. Any ideas as to finding the culprit, and/or eliminating the water leak(s) without replacing the rudder? Thanks!!
