Rudders #6

I picked up my laser cut 4130 parts today for the front landing gear and the torque tube brackets.  They tack welded the nose gear fork together; it looks pretty cool IMHO.  I cleaned up the forward face plywood on the second rudder spar tonight, then I cut the holes for the rudder control horns in the forward faces of the rudder spars.  I might have made them a little too big.  Maybe I will end up filling them a little bit later on in the project.  This is one of those details in the plans that is really missing the required information because the control horn needs to pass through both spars and attach to a bungee cord but neither hole is given.

Number of hours:  0.5
Total hours:  198.5
