My goodness Harry, that's scary,
Gary.
It looks it, but seeing how much it has survived, (over 500 flights, 6,000 miles and ahem a cartwheel across a field!) the evidence is that it is not a problem. The fuz is thin f/g and the whole fuz can twist a little so the bending is shared out over a large area. It does however make me wary of using the rudder as some of the rudder force will just go to twisting the fin/fuz and I wonder if the wobbling contributes to the sometimes fishtailing/dutch roll that happens in gusty winds.
