Rudder and Elevator Skinning - 3.5 Hours (18.5 Total)

I skinned the second elevator which wasn't any easier than the first. The skins seem to need to be stretched. This was done by fighting with it!

I also skinned the rudder today. The lacing method made the job much easier. Because I didn't want the lacing rope over the sharp edges of the aft gusset, I stopped lacing just before getting there. This made the skin near the gusset less taunt. The square knots recommended didn't hold so I used several knots back to back.
