Making the rudder using 6061 T6 (aircraft grade aluminum)

[@fox2102]

I don't think there is another channel out there that has ever talked about these aspects of kit building. I've always wanted to build so this is really nice to see. Keep up the videos!

Thanks MotoOtto! That is exactly why I am doing these videos, to show others who are interested in building, but don't have a lot of experience like me, some of the things involved you don't see or hear of anywhere else. I've been frustrated on some of the build aspects, so I hope to lessen the frustration for others. Thanks again.

Thank you fir the post Sir. I'm looking for info on bending Al. for the ldg on my RC AC (fly full scale also). Good luck with your AC!

Thanks John, and good luck on your build!

Frank, not sure if I missed it but what is the thickness of the 6061 you used?

[@frankdearmond3372]

Sorry for the late reply. I measured it yesterday and it is 0.024 inches thick.
