Worked on the rudder hinges. Lined up the hinge line per the plans and
all seems to work well with the slight deflection of the lower leading
edge of the rudder. All starting to come together now. Need to start
rounding edges of the appendages and sheet the lower fuse now.
I
added 5/8 x 1/4 balsa doublers on each side of F14's. This area
doesn't seem especially strong to me. Better now. Also don't like how
the tops of the F14's where they go into the stab are wider than the
rounded shape of the fuse. It's kind of odd. Curious on what others have
done in this area when they shape the fuse to the stab.
Rudder in place all hinged up.
Here's the leading edge deflection.
Upper hinge. Robart 1/8 hinge point.
Here is the lower hinge point. Slot cut in with the dremel table saw to get to the correct hinge line depth.
