Today we were able to drill the counterweight to the counterweight rib for the rudder. We were waiting on a 3/16" drill and dad was able to find one at his work. Perfect! We also got the bottom rib, horn brace, horn, and front spar of the rudder riveted together. This proved to be a bit tricky, and we initially tried to assemble it all with solid AN rivets. This didn't work though because we didn't have the right yokes for our squeezer and the small bucking bar just didn't cut it for the AN4 rivets. We decided to take the optional route suggested by Vans and we used four blind rivets on the bottom of the horn brace.
