Meanwhile, one of the guys working with me in the rudder restoration
suggests using a "ducktail" on the rudder to improve the autopilot

Check how much play/flex is in the autopilot system. I found that a very
small amount of play translated into a whole lot of wandering. After
that, playing with the gain & damping settings was more consistent.
