Hello Gardner,
When the rudder swings back the force on the steering control will increase considerably but if you have rudder blade that can be raised verticaly then you will not have this problem. I have a swing type rudder blade on my TT 720 and when I swing it back for shallow water it becomes vary difficult to control and puts considerable strain on rudder case.
If you can find a way to maintain a balanced rudder then it may work but this may complicate it.
Happy sailing,
George Kuck
