Hi Azcat, just a word from someone else who is toward the newbie end compared to most of the guys on this forum. I've found them to be extremely helpful, but it does help if you post a pic or two (as someone suggested) so that everyone can see your exact issue. In the meantime, I've found that the regular posters usually do see the picture and are aware of the various differences (or similarities) in models more than I am. But post a pic of that rudder joint if need be!
