On my S project I also beefed up the rudder horn. The original design had hand operated brakes and there was never much stress on the rudder horn unless you just pushed on both rudder pedals for no reason. Since most of us are adding brakes now we put a lot more stress on the rudder horn. Not sure if anyone has ever broken one or not.

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 ttinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org to change options
