  • Need BC12D Rudder

    Hi folks,
    I stupidly let my Tcraft roll into a golf cart and bent the rudder. Arrgh!!! Hard to describe the way you feel after bending your beloved plane.
    Anyway, I am looking for a replacement rudder. Not sure how repairable mine will be.
    Let me know if you know of one.
    Many thanks! Jay

    Send photos (as Hank said on the other place) Repair it; at least you'll know it will fit.

      Univair had them at one time. So did Wag Aero, but not sure where any inventory ended up.

      From a repair perspective, most of the work is fabric a d painting. The steel frame is not complicated to repair if you can weld or know someone who can. AC43.13 is you source for acceptable data.

      The lower trailing edge tube and bottom of rudder post are susceptible to corrosion and this will likely be the case on a used one you might find.

      Take the fabric off to see what you have. At the basic level repairs consist of cutting out the damage and welding in new 4130.
