Primed all rudder parts, finished dimpling and countersink, started riveting the rudder skeleton.



The last hole in the tip rib is very difficult to dimple, I used the pop dimpling set and two scrap aluminum pieces to get the job done. The dimple is Ok, but not a good looking one


Worked on the counter balance weight and counter balance rib


Rudder reinforcement plates are riveted, skeleton structure is clecoed


Mid-rudder spar reinforcement plate rivets
