Hi John, Got the rudder today, looks nice! Thanks for putting the rudder- stop hole and pin on the pintle. I don’t think this one will be going anywhere! Also thanks for packing it so good…UPS is notorious for bringing me open boxes, crushed boxes (this one was a little crunched) etc. The rudder … Read more

If I didn’t already know the thing was split in half down the middle, one could never tell. And you were right, the glass work is totally transparent. I’ll let you know how the first outing … Read more
