hello. just waiting for my stand to finish printing then i can get to set up on my blaster. So the issue i am wondering about is my Rudder. its a used blaster 2. been crashed and repaired by previous owner. i got it cheap. the rudder is canted about 3 degrees at the top to the left side. its in line with the fuse but when po repaired it he epoxied it slightly canted to one side. how much will this affect my flights? should i cut it out and re epoxy it correctly or not worry about it? adding some pics from my phone shortly.

rudder issue.

Uggh - Not great, I think I would be inclined to give it some gentle first flights and see what I think of the handling. If it seems ok, I'd slowly launch harder and harder and keep an eye on that rudder for possible issues.
For a repair I think I'd be tempted to carefully remove the old vertical and probably replace with a new unit. A new tail could be built from balsa and a little glass. Be a good project to build some skills.

i did check it and its inline with the fuse. just canted a little. i found a few posts on rcg that suggested it wont be much of an issue. ill test when i get the glider set up. just finished printing some angle measuring items on the 3d printer. have sailing tomorrow and its supposed to be dumping rain for the next week here. like flooding dumping rain. so no flying yet. carbon falcon has one test flight.
