The rudder went together very quickly. There aren’t that many pieces. I nearly had to make a call to Vans as I couldn’t figure out that R-1006 was made from VA-140. Going over the plans again (actually a few times), I saw that they say to make R-1006 out of VA-140. Moving forward, everything cleco’ed together much nicer than the vertical stabilizer. Now time to final drill and dimple! For a time-lapse video of the assembly process, see rudder assembly
