Kick up Rudder
Re: Kick up Rudder
I'm sure there is, but you'd probably have to invent it all yourself amigo:)
Honestly, there are probably a few people out there with the Kick Up's that might be willing to trade you for your kick up. Might want to look into that route.

Re: Kick up Rudder
check with Sid Rousseau in Wichita - he was looking for a straight rudder and had a kick-up to trade.
his email is lizardofoz@att.net

I don't think it would be that difficult to cut your blade down and buy a new kick-up head from Gene, or even get a local welder to make a head.

I don't even think you would need a welder. You can get aluminum plates online for pretty cheap. If you had someone nearby with a kick up, you could trace the pattern and cut the plates with the saw/grinder of your choice. You can also get the aluminum channeling online. I liked theses guys:

I guess it depends on your comfort in cutting and glassing.
