Question on Fin Parts

Hi all,



As you might have read, I have been having some trouble putting the fin
together. I just posted three photos of the skins in the archives under
Rebel Rudder. One builder who saw the pictures suggested that possibly the
creases in the skins were way big and would make it difficult to position
the ribs accurately. They are so deep that it's very difficult to flatten
them out. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other? My rudder and
elevator skins have a much less pronounced crease.



Also, both my skins are now totally drilled out to #30. Is that going to
make it hard to get all the parts and pieces right when I build the fin
again? I'll be starting with all new spars, ribs, etc. I can get new ones
but they are $144 ea.

Thanks, Craig
