Nicely done will be ready to fly soon.
I opened the top two hatches and the one side hatch, can not see the bolts that hold the aluminum angle in. I do not know to get to then to check see if they are ok. Do I have to cut open the fuselage or just hope for the best.

Look in the tunnel. This pic is with the plane upside down.

Started tinkering with the rudder. Started with an epoxy bond using some paint sticks to keep it aligned as best I could. Then found some balsa sticks to stitch it back together. Going to add some reinforcements and then sand and cover.

That’s a tough one to fix and at the same time make it strong and clean. One thing I would look into is a carbon down the trailing edge, sand a clove and glue it in.

I’m feeling pretty good about it. The break was just above the hinge but canted enough to make a decent splice there. The aft webbing is comprised of four different sheets at different bond points. If anything I’ll be putting in some splices and gussets.
