Mar 07, 2020 2 Rolled rudder leading edge Category: Empennage
Had all day available Friday, But instead of working on the Rv I went for a marathon flight with Robert in his Glass Star. He has a goal to land at every public use airport in KS and He had Friday off as well. He had flight planned 26 airports, but we were both beat after lunch at Miami county, so we cut it short and headed home. 5.6 hours and I think 19 airports total. lots of grass strips, the shortest was 1600' plus a landing at MCI and cheap fuel at downtown. Lots of frequency switching, especially hitting the class B. He only has one comm in that plane and knob twisting on that flight confirmed my opinion that I'm definitely a 2 comm guy.

On Saturday morning I rolled the leading edge of the rudder. Man I'm glad all that flight control rolling is done. Not fun. Also installed the heim joints per print, but the bottom one doesn't line up and the specified dimension, so some tweaking will be required.

Robert showed up to hang out around noon, so I put it away and moved on to a couple of bigger jobs while I had him around to help.
