We finally finished the epoxy and fiberglassing the trim wing and the rudders have been needing. Starting today, we will begin to build a type of wooden rack that the rudders and trim wings will stay level on.

We tried to hotr wire the rudders like previously mentioned. Now we’ve tried to use expandable foam (great stuff style) inside fan fold foama nd had trouble with it not curing in places. We attributed that to needing air to cure and decided to try and inject it in two shots. That led to a VERY lumpy rudder. Now we’re going to try and hot wire some pieces the right shape from 2" foam and then wrap them in fanfold. Hopefully this gives use some better results. We’ll keep you posted.

We tried hot wiring complete parts out of 2″ foam. Not a success. Check out the surface finish.

Hot wire rudder

We are going to try and get the rest done with fanfold foam.
