Default RE: CAP or Extra?

Well, the vertical stab and rudder are built, next is the wing, I'm not doing the hinges till later, If you follow the instructions, beveling the leading edge of the rudder before adding the top is reccomended, but I'm probabily using either robart hinge points or goldberg hinges I have laying around. So I didn't bevel the LE for a reason. You'll see something yellow sitting in the pic's near the top of the rudder, it's a piece of plans protector keeping the top of the rudder from being glued to the stab, just a small piece between the two is all that is needed to keep it seperate. The whole assembly is left to dry and later once off the board, it will get trimmed to shape and final sanded, always better to have more wood to remove than not enough, plus, I'm letting my rudder go to the absoloute bottom of the fuse and not using the wire imbedded in the rudder. Yes,.... the inspector stopped by to verify the work was correct and all the glue joints were tight and wiped clean of excess. Maybe I should just use him as a weight to keep the parts in place.
