Default Discus 2 rudder stiff help please

Totally agree....
Minor bit....as swiping the coarse sandpaper between rudder and fin, move rudder maybe 20* and try again.
Do NOT assume the front radius on the rudder is constant....... may be fine in spots, my bind in others.
Yes, sounds like check binding between rudder and fin....if OK.....pull rudder, clean stuff (WD-40 can work here), lube and go from there...
