I have a crack in the right rudder skin. Is there a way to repair this, or does the entire rudder need to be reskinned? Is it better to just build a new rudder? If reskin or build new, what is the best skin thickness to use? Thanks in advance.

Yours must be fairly new. 
Stop drill it (be sure that you drill at the very end of the crack) &
force some RTV caulk (the kind that doesn't stink, to avoid corrosion)
into the hole to act as a damper in the future.
Go fly tomorrow.
Most -4's with any time at all on them have cracks, unless the RTV was
put in the trailing edge when the rudder was built.

I had cracks in the skin at the leading edge rivet on two stiffeners. Stop
drilled the cracks and covered them with click patches from ACS. 80 hr and
still OK. Got the idea from Doug Rozendaal.
