Rudder leading edge cut
- (1.0 hour)
Category: Rudder
Cut the leading edge skin on the rudder with a cutoff wheel on a die grinder. For now I left it 1/4” bigger in case I didn't lay out the cutout correct. I'll wait to do the final trim during the install.

Primed access panel
- (1.6 hours)
Category: Rudder
Turned on the garage heater and got the temp to 70 degrees. Scuffed the access panel cover and ring along with the rudder close out skin. Cleaned the three pieces with SPI Waterborne Wax and Grease Remover. Then wiped with wax and silicone free tack cloths (TCP Global). Primed pieces with SPI Epoxy Primer,

Rudder Access Panel
- (2.3 hours)
Category: Rudder
Decided to make another access panel but this time have five fasteners instead of four. The ring is made from 6061-T6 .032 and the cover is 6061-T6 .025. The holes for the #6 screws are drilled to a #28. Dimpled all the holes. Added a piece of 1/8” heat shrink, Stein Air (SA702B), around the tail light wires where the wires will exit the rudder. This is also where the access panel will be.

Category: Rudder
Purchased a 3.5" round access kit (P/N RD35-F25) from Experimental Accessories. $32 for the kit and $10 for shipping. I'll use this one as a template to make more as needed. This access panel will be getting installed on the right rudder rear lower skin to give me access to the tail light wiring and for inspection purposes.
