[C38] Rudder packing

[Bill Ferrera]

Russ

If your speaking about the size of the stuffing material, it's 1/2-inch.

  Russ,
  Didn't we discuss this a year or so ago?  I think Don talked about how 
  he repacked his box and there was also some discussion about a "gaitor?"
  I can search my archives if that would help.
  BTW,  this would be a great set of instructions for the website if you 
  would like to do so!
  Thanks,
  cf
