Instructions state that rod should be reamed to 0.375" but it needed to be reamed out 0.428" to fit push rod.

Rudder opened up to accept the push rod bracket. Alas no blue foam as it is the NG model. No instructions on how to proceed. Advice from Europa is to bod in some blue foam is it is not load bearing and is just a bed for the composite.

Had to remove more of the rudder than I wanted so build up rudder trailing edge by attaching peel ply to the outside of the rudder and build up trailing edge using flox around the edge and an initial 2 ply of bid. i'll apply an additional 2 ply after the
