I have finally finished my tail. I’m building from scratch, including the rudder and It took me around 150 hours to complete it as you see it, the fiberglass tips will be made later on. The spot you see at the top of the rudder is a polishing test,
with auto polish. So far I’m leaning toward painting.
I started work on September 2006 after a little over one year of preparation and planning. During that preparation time, I made a few ribs, experimented with bending breaks design, study the plans and build the 8 x 20 shed behind the picture that act as my shop. I have a one car garage that will continue to be used as a car garage and storage for ready made components. The shed provide more privacy and better temperature during summer for building.
You can also notice in the picture how “light” I am, at 270 pounds between my wife and myself, we are the best part that keep things light.
Next, I’ll do my log web site and some enhancement to my bending brake before moving to the ailerons and flaps.

William,
Excellent workmanship! Pleased to see a scratch-builder, your age, with
such proficiency and grit.
Looking forward to seeing your product this time next year. It does go
faster as you move forward.
Good luck.

I want to thanks all for your encouraging words. The help I’ve received from this list have been crucial in getting my tail done. Special thanks to some individuals for their extra help, I won’t mention them to avoid sounding like an academy award winner.
Hope to see all in Sun-n-fun.
