And here is the ready to get started picture. Since I have the spar already epoxied in place I could do this part on the bench and it was nice to not have to be bent over the entire time as I was when doing this on R1 (it was in the jig).
I couldn't take in process pictures because I didn't want take the time to mess with glove replacement, or risk getting epoxy on my cell phone. The synopsis is that I took my time and made sure I had each layer well wetted out and well seated on the inside of the rudder faces. The only drama was on the 3rd layer where one side flopped over and wanted to make a mess. So I just jammed my gloved hand in there to get it seated correctly. It wasn't that easy to do with fingers, it would have been impossible with sticks or brushes. Here is the a picture of the profile as I left it.
Once again, I used almost every clamp I own to close this up.
