After reviewing previous threads on rudder damage from the OSH winds, the only mention of duct tape I saw was for emergency repair.
I’ve seen bungee cords used so why not use duct tape? Not the super sticky like Gorilla brand, but the cheap stuff that will come off when you want it to and leave the paint behind.
Use your regular gust lock and if bad weather is coming, bring out the duct tape.
Add a couple of stringers from the HS side to side and across the back of the rudder. Then roll the section of tape not attached to anything back on itself to make it round and prevent flapping in the wind.
Next day after storm, remove it.
