Upsized rudder skin holes to 6mm to accomodate 4x rivnuts at the bottom. Drilled 2x holes at the trailing edge of the rudder in line with the top rib to accommodate the base for a static wick. Deburred holes. Countersunk holes in horizontal stabiliser centre angle brackets. Cleaned all parts with acetone. All should now be ready for primer. I'm just waiting for information on where an earth strap needs to be positioned between the rudder and vertical stabiliser so that I can mask that area off so that I don't need to remove paint in future.
