hi Tim
You've bought into a good class, all sure you will have lots of fun with your new Supernova.
As for rudders in my opinion it not critical where it is in the 'up' position.I think that its more important to have a good system for keeping the blade down. Still saying that when I come in from sailing I lift my blade to a position where its still in the water for steering,then when its on the trolley I pull it a bit further to about the vertical.
thats my advise,hope it helps. rob
