His #9 idea to use a long titanium rod to attach the rudder (in place of the bolts) sounds like one I will do. The benefits are small or no holes in the rudder leading edge and ease of rudder installation. Titanium is required here due to its light weight. The rod needs to be nearly five feet long. Now the big question: does anyone out there in builder land have a clue where I may come up with a five foot by one quarter inch diameter titanium rod? The search is on...
