The rudder has a 3 step pattern to it, where it mates to the V-stab. It also has a cutout for the H-stab as the rudder wraps around the H-stab. Adding to this complexity, I discovered that the plans are slightly, but materially, smaller than the cut parts. As the rudder must fit like a puzzle piece with the V-stab, I opted to build in free hand, section by section to get it to mate properly. I'm showing it over the plans just so you can see what I am building.
