>Graham,
Why do you think this happened in the first place?? Does everyone who has
one flying have a modified fuselage or rudder? I'm amazed what one small
question about the rudder tip shaping can foster. Isn't this medium GREAT!!
Well, I think so anyway. At least now that I know I can consider 
my options.
