Brief Description:  Rolled leading edge of one skin partially.

Today I started rolling the rudders leading edge that will mount up to the back of the vertical stabilizer. I used an aluminum pole from a swimming pool net; I didn't have a 3/4" or 1" piece of pipe as the directions call for.

The directions call out taping the pipe to the leading edge skin and gently rolling it to create a rounded surface. The pole I had was too big and it was difficult to roll the entire length of the rudder by myself. The radius was slightly large, I will need a smaller pipe for a change.
