Rudder
The top half of the rudder hinge pocket is completed.
Carbon fiber tabs for the hinge linkage covers.
CF strips in between the tabs, as on the stab.
The top hinge pocke is complete leaving the more complex lower pocket to do.
One thing I realize is that in most modles that don't have the fatter lower section on the rudder is that most rudders are fatter (wider) in general foe strengthen making it one size and not having the wider lower section. I think the fuselage is the corect withdth at the ende relatively but the top porting of the rudder is not as thin as the full scale.
I will not be doing the scale rudder on this build, saving it for Angie.
Here you can see how the tab is looking, more scale in my opinion.
I am starting to do the cut out for the elevator tourqe rod and controll arm.
Tomorrow I should get most of this done.
