Thank you for the pictures Keith!
What did you install inside the rudder post on the fuse?
Also how wide did you make the trailing edge on the new rudder?
I would hate to add the DEPS and create a problem with balance,
unfortunately I have not decided on an engine. I am leaning
toward a ZDZ40 FAI engine, but they are not available yet.
I have pretty much ruled out a YS, so if the ZDZ engine
does not work out, then a 2 stroke OS 140 or 160 would
be my next choice.

I forgot to mention:
1. Swapping out the rudder is a very good idea, the stock one is way too heavy and I've heard of cases where the hinge has cracked. It also makes it much easier setting up the DEPS system and a tail former if you choose to add one.
2. Two of the pictures included above show the technique I use to help find the exit holes for the DEPS system (also works for pull-pull).
I've attached some pics of my ruder build.
