And onto the rudder & the dreaded trailing edge (TE). After reading some blogs, I decided to use some aluminium angle to help keep the TE straight. I also didn't follow the plans, as wanted to prime everything at once, so assembled the skeleton with clecos. Have to be caerful that the stiffeners & clips are all the right way up...Lots of sharpie notes on the metal, that I need to duplicate after priming. Really struggled getting the flanges of the skins to fix round R-912 & R-903. I had to radius alot more then I thought I would, to get them to fit and even then still quite a tight fit.
