Hi John, I didn't have that problem but I did note that the rudder position was close to the elevator horn and would probably scrub at some point if both were deflected at the same time so I simply cut off the end of the rudder horn and it works fine. Glad you got it fixed. When I have a problem such as yours I sit down, relax and tell myself hey this isn't rocket science and so far have been able to come up with a fix. I had a similar problem with the holes where the wing bolts attach. One hole was 4mm off . I was able to enlarge the hole and then insert a plastic straw with the bolt inserted through it and screwed into the fuselage I then packed wood filler around it to make it solid . When it hardened I cut off the straw and now have a solid hole for the bolt. It seems complicated but wasn't. Terry
