Rudder sizes

Morning all making a new lifting rudder just wondering on the general length and width of the rudder should be for the seahawk I feel mine might be a bit small, cheers.

Re: Rudder sizes

I've got no accurate measurements for the standard rudder, but the information on the site here:

and here:

should help. At least the pintles should be a fixed distance apart for you to get reasonable assurance on the standard size.
