RE: Rudder hinge broke...?
I only ever used fuzzy mylar hinges once I found them.
I would draw a line with a wax crayon alomg the hinge line, both sides.
Dry fit, drill a 1/16th hole from the underside through the mylar with out penetrating the top. Add a drop of thin cyno. Follow up with a toothpick dipped in epoxy.
My club had a ruling on pinned hinges as a safety requirement. I am pretty sure the toothpick was just insurance.
