Outstanding!
I have always looked for cheap modeling materials, being one of the "old-time" scratch builders.
My congrats to discovering bread ties!
 
Thanks guys

Been working on building a new ruder the last couple of days using some really thick sprue that came with the Goose kit, more of the bread ties, and some thinner sheet plastic. Here's a series of pictures I took of the construction. Still needs some work at the top of the fin, then it will be skinned with some very thin sheet plastic.

This rudder id turning into a small project all on its own... Here's some update pictures on it. Skinned it with very thin plastic sheet and did a lot of filling and shaping with CA. Still have to cut in the slots for the hinge, a notch for the linkages, navigation lights, and add the trim tab and actuator.
