I am planning on adding a rudder to my Seda Glider because I use it for
beginners and I have had trouble turning it when fully loaded in high wind
conditions.  Is anyone familiar with the CLC rudder system?  Is it "better"
than the Feathercraft rudder?  Is there another one I should look at?

Thanks
