As a TW28 builder I'm also making plans for the rudder and there are no many useful examples on the internet. Can I ask you the same like Rick? In exchange I'll send you some good wine :D
Cheers,
Dario

The rudder dimensions and construction method is on the plans. There are other ways to build it and you can even buy one already made if the size is close but they are rarely profiled.
The one made in Holland looks good, it has a NACA profile.

I have had mine made according to the designed dimensions from Jacques on plans.
The company also manufactured the shaft, prop and the SS rudder protection etc as a full combination
I was very impressed with the rudder response.

visible on this short clip the very short turning circle and very sharp stable response..

I was just hoping to get the electronic files so I could hand them to the waterjet guy who'll cut the profiles for me. That's ok. I can redraw them. I believe the foil shape for the rudder is NACA 12 or 14 IIRC.

Rick,

Just mailed you the files. Hope they are of any use.


Dario,

I am not sure you got my mail, sent though this web site. If you are still interested, can you give me an e-mail address I can use
