Paul,

In a conversation with William Mills at Sun N Fun some years ago, he  
left me w/ several bits of advice...one of which was to make a rudder  

horn which provides for 4", 5", and 6" between centers...doing initial  

flight tests at the 6" spread and reducing the spread as the comfort  
zone expands. I made mine from .125" 4130 steel.
