Brief Description:    Fabricate Rudder Cable Fairings
Fabricated left and right side rudder cable farings. Started by tracing full-size plans drawings from the plans to paper.

Cut out roughly and taped to scrap 0.25"" aluminum (was out of rubber cement).

Cut out on bandsaw; drilled mounting holes.

Bent around a 3/8"" drill; bent the angles for mounting to the fuselage. Spent a lot of time ""finessing"" the bends, etc. Still have to smooth out a few waves here and there and sand/buff up the finish.

I was considering ordering some from Van's (at least, I *think* Van's sells them...), but all things considered it really wasn't too bad making these parts.
