This looks like the European rudder system. It is not an aluminium casting, that would be too heavy, it is made of bend alu tubing and is surprisingly lightweight.
I was hoping someone would chime in on the weight comparison. The weight difference is negligible?
Two more questions:
1. Are they the same rudder blade profiles? Probably not. What are the differences?
2. What is the mechanism for holding the stocks on the pintles? Does it use the clip (like the Cap and Taipan) or the little pins like the other Blades?
Ok - that is more than two questions.......
