Assembling the Rudder   July 5th, 2006

The rudder skeleton is all pre-punched, so things went fairly quickly. The following two pictures show the rudder horn being fitted tot he bottom rib and the spar. There will be cables running from the rudder horn to the rudder pedals, so this is a nice thick aluminum piece. I had to grind (‘radius’) the upper edge quite a bit so it would sit flat against the rib (bottom picture)

After making sure everything fits together with no gaps, and all the holes line up, I put on the left skin. This now looks sort of like a piece of airplane..
