Becker rudder

(1/1)

madrob:
Has anyone ever made there own becker style rudder?

Umi_Ryuzuki:
Only as a demonstrator, to show someone how to build a becker rudder.  ok2
He wanted to run one behind a kort nozzle with the actuation arm at the bottom.

Shipmate60:
Rob, you can make a "fishtail rudder" which is almost as effective but much simpler.
Just glue 2 strips one each side of the rudder at about 45 degrees.
This increases the turn effect greatly.

madrob:
Thanks guys going to have to experiment a bit

chipchase:
Made this for my Maersk Leader Quite a few years back, the control is modelled the from Billing Boats Becker rudder,  I will be making another two when I get back onto my X-Bow build.
