Pivoting Rudder Blade
« on: September 01, 2010, 06:35:09 PM »
Just before the last race of the nationals the Cats Whiskers unfortunately suffered terminal rudder failure where the blade snapped just below the stock. Just wondered if anyone had an old blade kicking about that they wouldn't mind seeing the back of for a nice low price?! If not then I need to get my woodworking tools out and fashion myself a new one!  ::)

Thanks chaps. I have since spoken to John and he should be sending me a nice old blade which I can test out.

Pete, thanks for the offer but think that your shiny 800 blade might be a little over spec for my 35 year old speed machine so will let you keep that for a more deserving cause!
