The instructions are very specific that they must be flat and level or you risk putting a twist in the rudder, so rather than carry on I decided to get some metal beams and after a little research I ordered 4 2&#8243;x4&#8242; steel beams online. <\/p>\n<p>Getting the nose skin in the right place was a little tricky but I eventually got it lined up in a way that I thought was correct.
