Bending the rudder skin

Bended the rudder skin and started mounting the rudder jig. There is a lot of trimming to do on the rudder, and I need to mark all that before assembling (I'm not entirely sure if it is best to cut everything before riveting). Ordered "RTV 3145" from Aircraftspruce, probably the most expensive glue ever, 33 US$ + shipping for 4 oz (118 ml), a Christmas gift all by itself, he he. This is needed at inside the trailing edge of the rudder to prevent cracking.
