Tower

I bought a project boat a while back. It has a Houtz Tower which I figure I will use until I get ambitious and make a blade mount.

I notice that it is not the stiffest thing in the world. Twists a bit under rudder or winch pressure. Any thoughts about how to stiffen it up? I figure I might CA some CF rods in compression between the mount and the cockpit wood.

Or?

Thank you,

Scott

I have noticed that problem as well. The rudder servo can twist it all over the place. I keep it all low on a piece of aluminum angle.
