OK guys - first the good news. There is an airplane in my garage with wings attached, ailerons attached and rigged, and flaps attached:
In the next < 2 weeks I need to rig flaps, attach and rig tail, and anything else that requires a fully assembled airplane. Then the cars go back inside and the plane goes back to the single stall side (up on its gear for engine/cowl).
Now the bad news. Due to a horrible garage door incident involving storage racks above the door, the inboard trailing edge of my right rudder was damaged. This is what a garage door opener can do:
Can this be repaired? I'm not building a show plane, but I don't want to see a huge mess either. There are no rips/tears in the aluminum. If this could be reduced to a ripple that didn't affect flight I"d probably be happy. I really wanted to get the elevators on and rigged.
Thanks for any advice.
