Repairing Rudder blade
« on: April 21, 2015, 07:14:59 pm »

at the W/end managed to write off  one prop (replaced ) and one of  3 rudders  alas not replacable . The shaft and the leading edge of the blade about a 1/5th  vertical are still intact was wondering what would be suitable  to wrap around form a slot and then insert a  shaped piece to replace  the blade its about 1/16th thick is there Card suitably bendable  or  very very thin brass
Thanks for any suggestions
