Re: Slow leak

Phil I would think that a better way to stop the leak and add some stiffness at the same time would be to lay 3-4 layers of 6 oz. cloth at the base of the rudder shaft. Prior to that if you remove the rudder and pressurise the rudder box the leak may show it self. I wouls think that the box was over-stressed and has a small fracture. If you can locate the crack then you can grind out the bad area and fill it when the cloth or pour is made. Good Luck Walt
