VS Done!

I finally buttoned up the VS! I made a few mistakes while building this but they weren’t things that couldn’t be fixed. It was a great learning experience and I’m stoked to keep going, learning, and perfecting my technique!

I thought my attention to detail was pretty high, but oh boy this taught me a HUGE lesson about attention to detail. I will be reordering a part of the rudder. I tried fixing the dimples on the trailing edge and they were just not working. Really, it’s not the dimples themselves, but the skin around them. I built the table top that goes around the C frame but it was sitting just a tad too high. With that, it was creating this concave and wavy looking trailing edge on the skins.

Again…. I’m not frustrated or mad, etc. This was VERY enjoyable and I’m super excited to see the level of quality as I get better and better. I feel sorry for the guys at Van’s that are going to have to pack my order… That’s the only embarrassing part about this. LOL
