Here is Scott's description:
Rudder design experiments
At the Historical Kite Weekend in Switzerland (April 2013) Scott Skinner
of the Drachen Foundation displayed some interesting targetkite rudders.
These were rudders from Paul Garber's personal collection. They apparently
span the full life of the Target Kite and its development as there are
obvious prototypes and then the variety of what look to be operational
designs. More specific information is lost, however, it is very interesting
to see the many variations and to imagine how well or poorly many of them
must have performed.

you will see some compenents that made it into the two Target Kite manuals. If
you wander through my eBay gallery, you see other variations
that made it into production.
