Have you removed the fabric from the rudder yet?
Not overly complicated to repair the rudder. Can be done on a flat bench. The trailing edge lower section is suseptible to corrosion as are the other "catch water" points....Leave a comment:

Yes I understand. Overlap is supposed to be minimum 1" but I hear ya.
There is a big difference in the stability however. When there is structure under the joint, the joint is subject to shear only.
You may have seen the demo, or maybe done the test yourself... glue joints...Leave a comment:

Then relax with the piece of mind you've enabled....Leave a comment:
