With all the doom and gloom talk about ruddervators, it is interesting to note that these haven't sold. It's a great price (fair for buyer and seller). Also interesting to note the C thru G skins remained in stock at Textron for many months with no change in published quantities. I haven't checked Textron stock in 3 or 4 months, so it may have changed. After reading and participating in the "Bad news for V tails" thread, among others, it becomes obvious that the demand doesn't appear to be there. It would seem that with the number of V tails still flying, there would be a market. After eating this well seasoned, half baked crow, I must step back and agree with Arnie. Since I can't find a waving emoji, I'll go with this Seriously though, if Chris W.s ruddervators aren't selling, and Textron stock stayed at 21 skins for months after this became a "thing", I have to question how lucrative this could be for an aftermarket producer to chase. I really do hope a solution will become available, but now having a difficult time seeing the ROI, especially when coupled with the perceived/real liability.

Why not? You'd have to rebalance them for the earliest bird's specs, like Mike Thompson mentioned on pg 1, but after that they're good to go on a straight 35, A35, or B35.
Physically the ruddervator assembly is the same for straight 35 through G35. The horn and tab is different LH vs RH and they balance differently depending on which model you're putting it on, but the skin, spar and riveted ruddervator assembly is the same unless your drawings are better than mine.
