My premade rudder has a nice little dent in it that i now know the
reason for, thanks! If you'd like a picture of it, I will send it to you.
I am rubbing my hinges down and treating them as I have bad experience
with extruded alu parts- exfoliation corrosion hits real quick when
you're not looking. The hinges appear to be anodized but then they get
cut and rubbed down at least on the bonding surface...
