Default RE: Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk 1: 3.5

From a builders point of view having just completed the rudder instal on an SG Hawk the cutout for the rudder linkage does require a small amount of material to be removed from the main vertical former where the hinges mount to, so structurally you are inducing a weak point in the fin skin around half way up with the cutout for the rudder linkage, and then slightly weakening the former in this area as well. Possibly not the most ideal set-up, maybe a pull pull at the fin/rudder base might be a more suitable fix?
