Hi Peter I don't think your inspector was thinking. That rod end is many times stronger than the original plans aluminium and unless you seal the "waste of time" block it is a place for moisture to cause damage in the long term. But then he is the inspector and what can us mere mortals possibly know.

He has signed off all the gluing and foaming and the dr Dean hinges on my rudder. I have been made to put hardwood blocks to support the stem of the rod ends see photos on my website www.peterskr2s.co.uk. All my other mods have been approved. I have also been making the seat, with blue styrofoam and a layer of bid both sides, it is fantastically strong and very light. photos soon. I'll soon be able to start glassing the tail and wings, when the weather gets a bit warmer.
