Reinforcement patch time

Thought I'd post a picture of the reinforcing patch around the rudder control horn.  Went smoother than I thought by brushing a layer of adhesive and placing a pre-cut patch into the wet adhesive using the ends of the brush.  Then, I brushed more adhesive on top and immediately wiped off the excess.  Repeat all over the patch and give the weird overlaps extra attention, and use a little heat to help tack where needed, and viola!  I do have a couple of wrinkles around the perimeter that I can do better to remove next time.  For a first time using this covering system, I think this is pretty successful.

And that completes the covering (as far as I can tell) of the rudder.  Here is a picture of it mounted to the vertical tail structure.  It's certainly a different look not being able to see through the structure.  I suspect that covering will turn this Goat from a collection of tubes to a real airplane :-)

I'm thinking of a painting scheme similar to the "Irish Mountain Goat" of white and lime green leading edge trim:
