701 List,

  I'm at the point of drilling through the rear rudder skin into the ribs and I'm slightly apprehensive of doing so.  The assembly manual states that the leading edge of the rear skin should be flush with the spar (Rev 1.6 pg 7).  How many of you actually were able to do so without the tapered end of the bottom rib causing a bulge at the skins T.E.?  Also did you guys align the forward skin to be flush with spar web or with the bend tangent along the length of the spar? Any advice before ruining the rudder would be greatly appreciated.

   

  Thanks,

  Art

Welcome to the world of fear.  I am scratch building a 601 but the principles are the same.  Take a look at mykitlog site around 1-29-2006, it might give you some ideas or how to proceed.

I am building with kit ribs and scratch built skins.  Mine bulged ever so slightly at the trailing edge at each rib.  Hardly noticeable. 



After consulting pictures from the manual, Zenith's site, other builder's sites and the Homebuilt Help video, I'm satisfied with how things came out.
