Rudder Mar 23 2026
Completed Rudder (Almost)
First day of sabbatical with pops here for the next two weeks. Spend the majority of today finishing up the trailing edge rivets for the rudder, bending the forward edge for the counter weight, completing the pop rivets from the main spar to the ribs, riveting the main spar to the skin, and curling the leading edge of the rudder. The only thing we were not able to do was to pop rivet the two halves of the leading edge together as we realized i didn't have any AD-41-ABS rivets on hand unfortunately. spent the money for 2 day shipping, we'll see when the actually get here though.
