This is after swapping out the 'as shipped' piano hinge for the correct one

John, that looks like the one that Zenith sent after I received the kit (and after I built a rudder at the workshop, and after I built a second rudder from the kit - the practice seemed a good idea).
Joe, the hinge i received in my tail kit is not exactly like the plans or assembly guide or the home built help video. here is a picture of the end of mine it is offset. is this the correct one? The one side matched the holes of the ruder just perfect. but i don't have the fin yet to know if it is correct. Thanks John
