This step has me floxing in the rudder bellhorn and then hidding it in the hope that all will work out later when I cut the rudders out.
I made a foam cap for the section that becomes permanent in the rudder. Some say one ply of BID then the bellhorn then 2 plys on top. Others say 2 plys first the 1 ply. I went with two below and two above, hang the extra weight in this case. I tested for space with dry cloth and all was good. Two plys went down on top of microed bare foam making up the bellhorn pocket and then I floxed the part in place. A couple of sticks down the other end stopped it sliding around.
Next two more plys of BID on top, all done on foil as usual and finally I fitted the foam piece you see in pic 1 but permanently with micro and then gaffer tape on top for position while it cured overnight.
At the other end I fitted the two pieces you see in pic 2 with a small amount of 5 mt glue. These get removed later but I needed a top for the structural layup to come. I've seen others just remove the structure over the bellhorn. I may still have to but I'm hoping this method will let me leave the last inch of it all in place. We will see!
