I'd say build it! The rudder isn't terribly important for most stunt designs,
and the error in area is only a small percentage.

If it really bothers you, simply cut a new one..

I seriously doubt that anyone will be able to look at the finished model
and notice anything different.

What Larry said Ron.

I can't wait to see what your reaction is to how the main gear are mounted.

How far along are you? Can you post pics?

Thanks for all the help and advice. I remember the day when help was hard to come by. The learning curve was steep,steep. Ron :'(
