Brief Description:

I figured out that I could at least start on the rudder while waiting for the Hysol to arrive. So I spent some time today going over the manual and the plans, then cut out a rough rudder spar. I have learned better than to just use the templates and assume they would work. So I spent some time measuring and a lot of time sanding the final end shapes. The spar is first bonded to the right rudder skin, then much later the left skin is bonded on. I'll use the left skin tomorrow to shape the ends of the spar that were not shaped today.
