I'm New Here
Hi Guys!
First time posting here!
Please view the photos of damage to the rudder on my RV7A, due to strong winds during overnight stay on the ramp. Control lock failing to stay in place, and the result is punctured holes and bent/cracked trailing edge.

I have flown about 11hrs since with out any flutter or concern, but I have been advised that it could be dangerous and I should get an entirely new rudder.
Appreciate your comments on:
1. Should repair or replace.
2. Can I fly another 4hrs to repair shop or ground the plane.
Thanks in advance
