I just finished gluing up the rudder skins onto my blocking and I’m not happy with my taper on the trailing edge at the top.
It’s a moot point now (unless I want to rebuild the rudder, which I don’t) but I’m curious if anyone else had trouble getting the taper right on the curved block piece. The compound taper. I went through three pieces of block trying to get it right. Finally had to go slow with a rasp and then a final sand. Clamped up, I thought it looked ok, but once glued, the taper at that point is wonky enough to bug me. I guess it’ll affect performance to some small degree but I’m sure I’ll never notice.
I’m just curious at this point. I’ve never seen anyone mention this part as terribly tricky so I feel like I’m missing something obvious. If anyone else struggled with this and learned anything of use, I’d love to hear it.
