First post in months, although I actually completed the rudder on March 8, 2011. Man, time flies!! Anyway, no major glitches. The main skill "recovered" from the Sport Air workshops was rolling the leading edge. I initially tried a 1" wooden dowel, but the duct tape tape didn't hold well. The 1" dowel also produced a "too-big" roll on the tighter fitting upper segment of the rudder. I switched to a 3/4" i.d., 1" o.d. iron pipe (bought a 6' length at Lowe's) and "Gorilla" brand duct tape (both suggestions picked up on Van's Airforce forum search - what a great resource!!) and everything worked much better. Only drilled out a few rivets. end result pictured! Now on to the elevators!!
