Did a little building tonight and got the rudder and fin glued together. It's a little off the beaten path for a Senior but hopefully it'll look okay on the rear end. Can you tell I'm going for a little more control in my control surfaces?

Photo 1: I spent some time today trying to decide what I wanted the plane to look like on the tail. At first, i had a hard time marking up the plans but, it was only pencil at first. the ink came later.

PHoto 2: This is what I decided upon.

Photo 3: I started on the fin. Removed the extended portion that goes up over the fuse and also note that it's counter-balanced.

PHoto 4: It's being built a little stronger than the typical Senior and the tapered trailing edge was much narrower than the 5/16th square that I used to build up the rudder. I split the difference in their thickness and used these peices as shims. When it comes time to sand them even on both sides, these shims will have helped keep them even.

Photo 5: Here's the basic shape of the tail. I think it will look agressive but will complement the elevator/stab modifications nicely.

Tomorrow night will mostly be sanding and finishing up a few peices. I hope this thread proves interesting for at least someone. I'm doing it to keep track of the project but it is always nice when someone else can benefit from it as well.
