Titanium Rudders
I wanted a fun project so I thought about making my own rudders. They are for the airboat world of boats and not a water prop. Since I have little to no experience with water prop boats and there rudders I want your opinion. I have added a break away feature since I destroyed the transom off one of my boats. You will see there is not a water pick up since our motors are air cooled. Please give me your thoughts so any changes that need to be made.... Can be. More pictures will be added as I finish.

RE: Titanium Rudders
More work has been completed on the rudder. I have finally added a break away to stop busting transoms. Almost finished, just a little more work and then the polishing.

RE: Titanium Rudders
By the location of the holes Can I assume that you are planning to install one of these?

I should warn you that they work better when the holes to connect the servo are lined up with the pivot line.
Otherwise, the rudder looks great! As soon as I finish these planes that I have on the building table right now, I'm planning on tackling a Deep V woody.
