Rudders Part2

Still too cold for epoxy work. Just as well I still have wood work to do.
Once out of the jig the rudders need to be closed top and bottom and shaped at the edges. I marked out the radius' and cut with a jigsaw. It was nice to get the radius shape onto the rudders, they quickly resmbled the drawings I had spent so long pondering.

Here you can see one method I used for holding ply in place while the glue cures. Screwed at the top and bungied at the thin trailing edge.

Here are the two rudders with tops closed prior to shaping. I closed the bottom of the rudders with two 4mm pieces to give 8mm thickness, I also plan to add extra filler and glass on the bottom where grounding may occur.

Here is a rudder and the trusty shaping tool almost ready for final sanding before glassing begins.
