[Flying Scotsman]

At the point where I need to decide whether or not to make the rudder bottom cap removable or not. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Worth it or not?

Do it

Steve, I'm not that much further along in my 7 build than you, but I did make the rudder bottom removable. For about the same weight and effort as riveting permanently, I can have access to the tail strobe wiring and can replace the fiberglass should it get cracked or damaged with minimal effort. I felt it was worth it

I used pulled rivets to fasten the cap on my 7a. If it has to be removed...
it's a one minute job.

Mine is removable

I have removed it two or three times since we completed the airplane.
