Just a couple of hours in the workshop this evening. I finished forming the curve on the rudder leading edge. Then primed ready to rivet tomorrow evening. I hope to have the rudder fitted this weekend.

Here I am using some drain pipe to form the rudder leading edge.
Tape the pipe with strong (gaffa) tape all along or it will stretch the skin.
Complete with cleco's fitted. Holes still need to be drilled to #30.

Here I have primed part of the skin - where it will go under the other.
