Any suitably stiff member will keep it straight but the problem is stopping
it curling inwards. Didn't have problem with the rudder, but in spite of a
massive beam on the fin edge it turned inwards and reduced the closeout
width, with fatal consequences to the rudder entry. Perhaps you are are past
this bit but if not , make up a closeout template in ply to set the width
all the way down. That's what I had to do to restore mine.
