PlaneTruth,

Thanks for that -- it's good to hear that some rudders will withstand the force.

However, the point that they're not required to still stands, and that's where the real problem lies: Pilots mishandle the aircraft beyond its limits, and are in this rudder case not usually even aware that they're exceeding rudder design limits.
