16/06/2013 - More work on fitting all the fibreglass parts

The rudder bottom requires some alteration because it is an RV-7 and not a 7A and two methods seem be taken by other builders

1. Cut the top of the rudder fairing at the top so the fairing sits higher above the tail wheel ie setting the rudder fairing at an angle
    

2. Reshape the bottom of the rudder near where the tail spring attaches to its support

The first is easier but does start to spoil the line with the fuselage as the rudder fairing follows the line of the fuselage.  The second option takes more work but keep the line.  We opted for 2).  The last picture shows the flat put in above the tail spring at the closest part to the rudder.

Some shots to remind me what it looks like once I take all this off :-(
