Rudder

· The skeleton for the rudder.

· I have had a cold and have not gotten all that much done.

· Note the little white jig on the band saw. This is just a piece of 1”x2” PVC cut at an 8 degree angle. All of the ribs for the rudder have to be trimmed the same way, and this made the cuts straighter and more uniform.

· This is the setup for countersinking the trailing edge of the rudder. The piece of metal taped to the 2x4 is a wedge that Cleaveland Aircraft sells. It has the right angle for countersinking the trailing edge.

· Tom arrived on 3/8/2023. He has been working on the horizontal stabilizer while I finished the rudder. You can see the skeleton for the horizontal stabilizer on the work benches.
