Can anyone provide the dimensions of the various rudders for the i14t. And does anyone know why the rudder control is very stiff and sometimes immovable?

Check you rudder lines and see if they are crossed. Sometimes they will be easy to move and then after folding it up they will get tight. Then the next time you unfold and the lines are easy again. Good Luck

There is only one optional rudder blade.

81397101 i / QUEST - RUDDER BLADE - LARGE / TWIST-N-STOW

Rudder control lines may tension or loosen depending on inflation or temperature conditions. Check the tension at the rudder left and right controls to see it that may be the issue.

Thanks Matt. But do you have the dimensions. I have seen rudders which have a cut out at the leading edge. Are they for a different model?

The cut out version can fit an i-series I am told by removing a portion of that leading edge.

They are both the same size. The "cut out" is actually the whole blade area shifted forward for better balance when it was used on the Adventure Island.

Approx 15" tall x 7 1/2" in length.

Many thanks for removing any doubts I had over the rudder I was using.
