Default RE: Techniques for rudder constructon?

Well my first effort at Donnie's technique was a total cock up. All I ended up doing was wasting half a bottle of CA and several hours of time. At the moment I'm sortly tempted to go back to the old fashion Guillow's arrangement of curved pieces. In short the balsa would NOT bend even when soaked and cracked all over the place. In pure frustration I tried a bit of "gorrilla" construction whereby you just CA the h**l out of it, zap with fixer, and sand the crud out of it. I ended up putting the mangled result out of its misery by tearing it to pieces. At least that part was fun!

Time to go do something else for a while.
