Hi Matt,

I weighed my stock rudder over the weekend and it weighed 52grams. Basically as it came out of the box. At 80-90grams are you including the horn, hinges and rudder post?



Regards,

Peter
Peter,
Check your scale again. If you have a stock rudder at 52 grams then you are the exception. I have weighed three Impact rudders right out of the box (i.e no horn, no hinges) just unwrap it and put it on the scale...the minimum mass was 78 and the max was 83 grams. A friend of mine had one that was 92 gr!!![:@] If you have one at 52 then that is telling me that there are some pretty inconsistent layups occurring at C-ARF.
