1/8 Scale Rudder and Turn Fins

[Jerry Dunlap]

Well, in what seems to be the never ending attempt to sort through 50 years of model boating stuff, I came across a couple of hardware items from back around '89 to '91 when my son, Paul, was racing 1/8 Scale in RCU.

The rudder blade is stainless steel - 4 1/2 long, with a 1 1/2" to 1 1/16" taper. The 3/16" shaft is 3 1/4" long.

The turn fins are stainless steel - 4 1/2" long and 2" wide and flat. There is one mounting bracket

With shipping, I'd like $15 for the rudder.SOLD

For the fin & bracket, I'd like $20 with shipping and $18 for just the fin.

Although it won't mean much to most who would read this post, the hardware was made by Ron Erickson of Seattle. When I began racing model boats in 1965 Ron was "The Main Man" in both racing and making hardware for model boats.

Jerry, I'll take the rudder. Bring it with you this weekend.

I'll put it in my tool box. The challenge will be to remember to bring my tool box to the pond.
