Typical 2024-t3 yield is about 40ksi. And the ultimate yield is about 60 ksi. Which is 1.5 times yield, hence the 1.5 safety factor rule may be...
I don't think the small split rudder I saw at Osh will have much drag effect, in the mixed flow behind the airplane. Also might be hard to get a...

Right. For full span flaperons, the outboard half could be somewhat less incidence. Or if ailerons are desired instead of flaperons, by drooping...
If you have time to spare, go by air.
The 1/2" lugs are for tight fit in aluminum, I think. I doubt 1/2" of a 4" wood hub is enough. But who knows? Older engines made for wood props...
Use the hard 3M Scotchweld (like Avid and Kitfox) under the rivets, not Proseal rubber which is not a structural adhesive.
What is that neat C-4 airplane? Looks like a Dehavilland DH-53 without struts.
The other thing that was interesting: I think it said the Ethiopia pilots did turn off the electric trim switch as trained, but still crashed. I...
I will guess "PEZ Dispenser" on that one. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pez
Fuselage with a left wing attached.
