My pre-skinned control surfaces had a nice recess carved in to the rudder
top. I have not gotten to fitting it to see if they got it right.

The hinges are already treated for corrosion I heard after I scrubbed and
alodyned them.

Just started shaping the rudder core and I read somewhere that there is a
problem with the leading edge tip hitting the fin when the rudder is
deflected to the left. Is this a problem, and if so is it something I can
address at this stage? The manual isn't very specific about the shape of the
tip. Also, do the hinges need to be treated before being bonded to the
rudder? Thanks,
