Just re reading newsprint, as ever it is a good read even second time around
Richard Harrison mentioned Bob showed him where to file his rudders to help them stay up ,can any one let me know how this is done?

Hi
Yes - what you need to do is to take a half round file and file a small detent in the glass fibre surface of the notch where the roller sits when the rudder is in the up position. It needs to have a similar curvature to the roller and be 1-2mm deep so that the roller drops into the detent when holding the rudder in the up position.
Best of Luck
