Brief Description: Cut Ruddervator Skin and Mark Ribs

Made 20 degree cut in ruddervator skin (SNX-Z03-01) using hand snips. Placed rib inside and confirm cut was perpendicular. Marked ruddervator rib centerlines using 1/4" thick plywood as a guide. This will speed up marking of ribs with very consistent centerlines.

First sheetmetal cut
