Brief Description:  Additional rudder photos

A few more photos to illustrate -

#1 - TE is pretty good, but I 'think' it needs a little more squeeze. The edge is springing back and I still see reflected distortion in the skin where the stiffeners are 'flatter' than the skin between.

#2 - The TE has a very slight but visible curve from end to end. The bender board is straight, as was the skin when starting. The curve is very slight but seems to allow a little 'oil can' on the left side, compared to the right. Don't know if a little bias in a new bender would help straighten this to be more true.

The rudder is NOT being closed up yet until the TE and curve work is better. And the missing bottom nutplate is replaced ...
