Looking good Chris! A couple of questions for you ...

2. Jig I use to straighten and square edges of control surfaces, sheeting edges to be jointed, etc.
Are you using sandpaper in that Jig? Having trouble seeing it. Is the paper only on the Vertical side of the jig?

6-8. Tapering the rudder. I don't remember where I saw this idea, but it works great. Taper the first side using 3/16 wire on the LE and 1/8" wire on the TE. Flip it over, leave the 3/16" and replace the 1/8" with 1/16". Results in a nice uniform taper. I know the directions say the TE should end up at about 3/32", but 1/16" is close enough.
Can you elaborate a bit on this process? Are you sanding everything down until flush with the wires? Making everything slope evenly from "front to back"? A little more explanation on that process would help me tremendously.
Looks like you have a great deal of experience in the shop. Hopefully I can absorb some of that experience through the forum.
Thanks for sharing with all of us!
