So, I dive into the rudder assembly (HS & VS done, pics to come) and unwrap all my stiffeners and start matching them up. Uh... that was a mistake. After looking at the plans and hole spacings, I see that each stiffener has unique hole spacing (ie A-G). What I've come to find however is that all the stiffeners Vans sent me have the exact same spacing (A's) and they all only line up with the lower-most rudder skin holes. Is there something I'm missing here or do I need a new set of stiffeners from Vans?
Hmm. I guess some pics would be nice, but I'm totally slacking lately.
OOh... and on a side note, my maiden solo flight was this past Friday! I was so nervous but it went great. I actually have video of that here:
