Rudder

Tonight I only had an hour or so to work on the plane. I sanded a couple of spots on the cockpit paint, so I can touch them up at a future time. The paint job is ok, provided you don’t look too closely, it has been a good lesson in painting.

The I drilled and cut the rudder bar spacers. These plastic blocks will hold the rudder bars in position.

I also poured some self etching primer inside the rudder bars to help combat corrosion. I cleaned the bars out first by pulling some scotchbrite through then a cloth with some rubbing alcohol.
