Riveting Rudder



Tonight we continued to rivet the rudder. Last time we were able to attach the counter balance rib and counterbalance rib skin to the main rudder spar. So tonight we installed the counter balance weight and end rib then we riveted both skins to the assembly. After a few rivets that had to be drilled out due to lack of following directions we ended with a rudder! Well almost, we still need to finish the trailing edge, which we're studying a lot, we also need to roll the leading edge of the rudder. I figure we should be well mentally prepped before we start the trailing edge. Tomorrow night we hope to have the pro-seal curing, and once that is in the process of drying we can get ready to rivet the trailing edge together.
