Default RE: Rudder hinge broke...?

The control horn is below the hinges and results in a twisting moment each time the rudder is used. That is probably the reason the hinge failed. So, having a new hinge under the control horn would be better than the original setup. Ideally, there would be a hinge above and below the control horn.

Good Luck
