Thankfully a 3 day weekend. During the night I thought that perhaps my trusty Dremel Tool could save the day again. The Dremel can be run at a very low speed to keep from melting the plastic. Also a few years ago I had purchased some carving bits for the Dremel.
Side note: The Dremel tool has been a versatile tool throughout the building process. Many times a little glue drop will be in the wrong place or a little bit of wood will overhang and prevent a tight joint. Using the Dremel with either the cutting bit or a carving bit makes the small adjustments needed.
05 July 2020 the Dremel tool was able to trim the inside (ID) of the bearings to make a snug but not too tight fit on the rudder tube.

05 July 2020 the close fit on the rudder tube left me with a little time to cut the cable fairing for F4.
The only difficult part was the longer stainless steel bolts needed to attach the fairing. Fortunately AN bolts were not specified so I used a couple ��ainless bolts in the shop. The plans called for a ��ick fairing and my material is ��Also nothing except magic marker would write on the plastic so digging around my shop I found a purple marker.

05 July 2020 the holes line up so when cables go through they won't sand away the wood on bulkhead F4.
