Log: Rudder setting trailing edge / Horizontal Stab beginning steps

Pro-seal goodness

I spent some time today sealing up the trailing edge of the rudder with proseal. I took a long time setting it up as I wanted it to be as strait as I could get it. Time well spent I think. Since you are blind riveting the ribs together at the same time you have proseal on the trailing edge I had my wife help me. It went very smooth with her help. When this was done I started into the reinforcing brackets for the horizontal stab spar.

If you look close you can see a bit of proseal oozing out of the edge into the rudder.

Nice and strait trailing edge.
