Log: Rudder - Riveting many of the final touches on the rudder

So many rivets!

Spent a lot of time today riveting the rudder, getting it closer to completion. Getting the dried proseal out of the rivet holes was a chore that involved a demurring tool and a #40 drill bit using hand pressure so as not to remove aluminum. That stuff smells so bad and gets into everything you touch. Glad I spent a lot of time on the front end not making too much of a mess. Riveting the trailing edge was also a chore. I followed the instructions alternating rivet directions and I think it turned out pretty well. In the photos you can see a blind rivet that I had to drill out because it set away from the face of the spar.
