Rudder Housings

While I still have some room in the garage I decided to make a start on the rudder housings.

The first stage is to use each rudder as a mold for creating the sleeve of the housing out of fibreglass.
In this picture you can see the first one still wet with many layers of cloth and epoxy wrapped around it.


Once cured the sleeves are removed from the mold and cut to shape.


That is part 1 done. Next step for these will be the addition of some ply and carbon fibre.
