Brief Description:  Finished Rudder

Used modified flush sets to squeeze trailing edge. It came out really straight, thank goodness. Less than 1/32 wave. I'm pretty happy with it. Even though the Proseal is a real chore to use, I think it's better than epoxy or nothing. I was really surprised how much the shop heads look like manufactured heads. Rolling the leading edge was more difficult than riveting the trailing edge, though I believe it looks really good. I just had to attach it to the VS just to see how it looked. Finally looking more like an airplane. It's amazing how smooth the movement is. I guess taking all the time to measure the rod end bearings with the calipers was worth it. No binding what so ever.Now on to the elevators. I think I've learned alot about "double flush rivits" and the elevators should be easier. Certainly won't be as much trepidation.
