Due to some hangar rash, I need to re-skin my rudder. Seems to me I recall someone using .020 aluminum for the upper rudder skins… I'd like to do that but only if someone else has gone before me with this.

Comments please?

Joe, I believe the skins now are specified .020 and not .016 as in the early design

Indeed they are. I produce the skin as one piece, in .020.
