    Default Kitfox 5 Rudder leading edge

    Hi
    I thought I had read something about tips on how to cut the slot openings in the rudder trailing edge fairing but cannot seem to find it know.
    I have the leading edge fit to ribs and am very happy on how that came out. But I am a little lost on the best way to layout the slot openings, I have a series 5 but it should be the same as the 6 & 7 or very close. Can I get some direction here?
    Thanks, in advance!

    Hi
    Sorry, I need to proof read before sending.
    I am looking for tips on cutting the slots in the rudder LEADING edge, not trailing edge.

    I used a dremel tool with a sanding drum. I quit when I could get enough room to get the bolt/nut on and tooling needed to tighten them.

    I believe the SS7 manual has the cutout templates. I used their templates and they worked OK, but it was tight.
