Here's what I would do. Cut a 1/4 inch strip and cover only the trailing edge and then slit the upper and lower areas so that there's some overlap. And then cover the top and bottom and trip them flush. This works great and gives you a professional look. I pretty much do this with all curved surfaces.
I pretty much second this method. I work with monokote but the Elder 40 I am working on has a scalloped rudder and I first covered the trailing edge then later on I overlapped the main covering,, cutting slits as needed to allow a smooth roll over. It worked out fine.
