I ran the Javelin hard this weekend, and while disassembling it for storage I noticed the damage pictured. The rudder skins are crushing a bit where they nest in the bottom of the casting when in the down position. I can repair the damage no problem, but would like to understand the cause in hopes of preventing further problems. It seems that these rudders are hollow and fairly thin skinned. There is some slop at the rudder pivot point which I can shim up, that might be the cause. I try not to slam the rudders into the down position, but....Suggestions for shim material? I've been cutting discs out of the tops of cottage cheese containers. Any other HT owners experiencing anything similar? Joe? Bill?
