Was looking at the pics from Wouter and noticed on of the alter cup blades there on the beach with the rudders facing straight up. the pic was to far away to tell if the rudder casting where the normal ones or how they did this. Anyone else able to do this on the blade? Could make my life a hell lot easier if this is easy to do.

thanks

Sure it was a Blade? I think I saw a picture of a Stealth that looked like that.

I take it back. I did see a Stealth, but there are clearly some Blades like that here also -

You mean the rudders look something like that? see attachment
These rudders are on my Blade, and made in Germany.

yep just like that, other than the bright orange, which is cool looking. How the heck do they stay up like that?

Different rudder castings from my VWM Blade and a different mechanism for lowering/raising the rudder blade.

You could certainly do it, just need to buy the different castings.
