Phil. I would definitely recommend going up a few sizes on wall thickness (.058) on the rudder tubes as I bent them twice trying to stop on a short runway. The right hand one is really the culprit not so much the left one due to the torque you can apply when the adrenaline starts flowing and the end of the runway is near. I actually ended up re-enforcing the lower corners with an internal tube to strengthen the weld and torque points to stop it from bending. The rudder pedals were one of the surprising things that I did not expect to have any problems with yet it was an ongoing issue until the third set were made as above. Contact me directly if you need more details. Regards Chris Gardiner KR2S 235 hours
