Might be cheaper to buy a rudder kit. I moved to Alaska last week and checked into having my completed 650 rudder shipped here since I drive a tiny Pontiac Sunfire and space is precious... Anyway, the shipping quotes I got from UPS were over $700. Most freight companies refused to touch it since it was a completed aircraft part. (I shipped my unopened tail kit crate as class 50 "scrap aluminum" and got a good shipping rate.) I ended up juggling the rudder across the back seat and against the back window and it arrived just fine.

Anyway, I'd recommend just buying a fresh rudder only kit from Zenith (cheaper and takes only a day to put together). Their crating and shipping costs would be significantly less than trying to ship a completed rudder from my experience.

Never know when someone close by might have one they don't need though.   Thanks for the reply.
