Here is a good video showing low speed boat handling of the rudder on the Laser Radial and the RS Aero by Olympian Penny Clark.

The Laser Rudder is too small period and has very high load that practically eliminates any feel.
conversely that claim can be dismissed in terms  of boat handling and set up  knowledge and experience deficits...

On the flip side of that I much prefer a cassette rudder to a swinging rudder. I can get it up 1/3 to 1/2 on the way in and still maintain a light rudder load and much better control.

Indeed, which is why an option with a cassette rudder is a little more erm, "sophisticated"

They must good on the 7, but surely they're either over sized or under on the 5 and 9?

Agreed, the best features of those Aero's are the hull and peripherals, quality.. Shame about the rag.
