Empennage

Jan 9, 2016  (almost caught up to new builders log)

Rudder first steps (3 hrs)

Rudder.   Started Sec 7-2    Step 1,2 & 3.   Used band saw to quickly separate lots of pieces.   Getting better at quickly deburring parts on scotchbrite wheel.  
Sec 7-3 at Step 1.  Radius corners of extruded alum Rudder Horn.  Couple iterations to get clearance along top edge to forward edge of Bottom Rib - but can't add material back !

Seems like a lot of time, but this includes reading through manual couple times to insure understand assembly steps, checking Gotchas from VAF, etc.
