Fin and Rudder

here i am with some work done! job is stealing some time to work on my beauty, but i'm keeping on...
before continuing with trim and balance tab for elevators, i focused on fin and rudder.
here some pictures:

 let's start with the fin..usual old skeleton, only four ribs.

the sheets, previously prepared...

other side..

and the leading edge is sanded!

and now the rudder, three pieces to glue together to make the base

a shaped LE , slide the base in the slot and it's done

wrote down the ribs

 cut all the ribs and glued to the base

now the balance tab LE, the maxi root rib and the torque block...

this time i did it quicker, all the sanding went well and the profile is good, much better than the elevators.

and finally i inserted the aluminium tubes to place and replace the hinges as many times i desire..

next time i'll drill the hinges holes for the rudder and prepare for hiding the mechanism. still a lot of work to do!! see you next time
