The rudder before ripping it apart. Note the dry fiberglass that was never saturated when the repair was made. The rotted plywood and empty space I discovered as I ground down the area around the steel plate weren't too reassuring either.
After grinding. The areas I'm worried about are the yellowish patches at the edges of the rudder holes and particularly the spot next to the stringer on the left.
Close up of the stringer.
Cracks on the bottom, directly underneath the third picture. The series of cracks are about eight or ten inches long.
