Empennage: Rudder. Leading edge curled.

I decided to redo my rudder due to the trailing edge.  Here is the post outlining the new rudder.

This post might seem out-of-sequence, however I had been putting off finishing the leading edge and working on the fairings and in favor of securing experienced help.  

In the case of the rudder leading edge, I wasn't pleased with how my elevator leading edges came out, back in August 2014.  So I asked my RV-9A friend to roll my rudder leading edge as I was pleased with how he did his.

The leading edge must follow the templates laid out on page 7-13. 


In the left image (looking up the forward edge of the rudder), you can see that the HW-00004 Tie Wrap Clip was broken so I'll have to replace it.
