Haven't fully developed a rudder system. But I helped Duckworks develop some gudgeons for easy construction of your own.

NICE gudgeons, Matt. Simple and strong.

Thanks Jack.
There were inspired by the Kruger mindset: Easy to use with common hardware. 1/4" bolt or pin will serve as the axis for the rudder steering.

As with many good things, the genius of the design is hidden within its simplicity.
