Wanted lifting rudder for Merlin Rocket

Post by angus »

I need a lifting rudder for a 1980s Merlin Rocket, I have found my fixed rudder just a bit too deep for my pond resulting in some embarrassing situations. I am not looking for anything fancy but needs to be fairly cheap.

I'll hunt around at the back of the shed. I think I may have some, though it could be from an earlier merlin. I seem to remember something with a cast alloy stock.

Yes, Here it is.
Pintles are spaced 190mm, blade is about 700 long. The tiller is off another, but unless I can find the correct one this will only need a small modification.
Any use?

Hi Chris thanks for your reply but I think I am sorted now. I havn't yet seen if what I have got can be made to fit but I don't expect any unsolveable problems but I will get back to you if I do.
