Rudder skin complete

Finally got the rudder to sit flat. Every time I tried adding clecos to the skin, one corner of the rudder would lift. The 1" block certainly helped, but finally had to resort to sandbags (technically 5lb weights stuffed into my fuzzy slippers) to control the twist. Pre-seating the rivets was also a pain; some holes were just too far out of alignment, but everything eventually went together.

The only part left is the tip rib and cone. I noticed too late that the manual doesn't have the skin riveted on until after the rudder tip cone is fitted. Oops. Hope this doesn't come back to bite me tomorrow.
