Reply to: Rudder carnage

[quote=benedict]Hey, this raises a question I've been pondering: At some point I may break a rudder housing. I hope not. I never have before. But if an when the day comes, I'm kinda screwed. Not too many P-Cat housings lying around. But I work in a machine shop. Structurally, it seems like a win to make a new housing out of two side plates and a central "spine" where the rudder pin goes. It could be a weldment or a bolt-together. Either way would work. This would also open up a lot of choice in materials. Even staying inside the aluminum family, using something like 7075 or 6061 that's been lightweighted on the mill would make for a light housing that's unlikely to crack like that. Aside from class rules issues (which I don't really run into with a cat this old) are there any unseen problems doing this? Thanks, Tom[/quote]
