Another option would be to use a tension hinge.
Take two bits of tape. Put their sticky sides together with about a quarter length overlap. One end sticks on one face of the vertical fin, one end sticks on the opposite face on the rudder, with the overlapped section running through the hinge point. Repeat at least two more times along the height of the rudder.
