Hi SurfCity and all,

Old tornados used wooden rudders. Is there any true reason, why todays rudders are from class or CFRP? The rudders of my Dart are of glass and heavy, and I see no point that wooden rudders could not resist the loads acting on it. Having a straight leading edge, a aluminium or glass or kevlar leading edge cover would be easly applicable.

Cheers,

Kolja
