I built the rudder as per the plans and the plans were for the full-house
version. The current rudder appears a little small and there is a slight
dutch roll. I'm going to add some mylar tape to the end to increase its
size and see what happens. It appears a little sluggish in the turns (but
not real bad) and I even increase the throw. I'll let you know.
