Speaking of details, does anyone know where a photo might be had showing the shape of the rudder on Olympia? The plans I have show the profile shape, but don't give any clue as to the potential cross section or girth of the rudder. Some photos of models out there provide inconclusive information, such as the attached...some showing a "fat" rudder, others not so much.

Any thoughts on the appropriate shape would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!
Jim
