K.I.S.S. the Dilema

So it is pointed out that to raise the rudder takes me further away from the plans drawing and design concept that John Monnett intended for this little airplane. The most direct courst to solve the *wash-out* of the rudder by the higher turtledeck is to correct the turtledeck back to the original hieght,or near to it so my big head fits. I went to Photoshop again to get an idea what it would look like.

Per my Techical Counsellor I need to raise my vertical stab. He suggested a rudder mod over my exisiting stab. It Seems the WWII United Kingdom Spitfire used this design. The red is existing vertical stab, the yellow is the rudder reformed, the orange is the new material added.
