Trimmed the blocks for the rudder ribs and trimmed the washers to fit the blocks. Added a coat of enamel to the rudder tube and the bare surfaces of the washers I trimmed. The plans look as though they used a 3/4 inch washer but the washers supplied in the Aircraft Spruce hardware kit is a 1 inch washer. So each washer I trimmed 1/4 inch off of 1 side to fit the washer to the rudder rib. Many thanks to Stephen Vorkoetter http://www.stefanv.com/volksplane/rudder.html for his detailed page on how he built the Volksplane rudder.
