Brief Description: Drilled Rudder, dimpled VS and rudder
|
|
Today was a busy day, I think I may have overdone it a bit.
I started by drilling the other side of the Rudder stiffeners. Once those were done I worked on building the rudder skelton. The fabrication took some head scratching at first, but after looking around on VAF I found the aswers I needed.
--this is one point where the videos I have aren't very good. They are pre pre-punch kit and have a lot more assemble, neasure, draw line, etc...they are still great ref for the next step and what a piece in progress looks like
Once I fabicated the couple of pieces usng the bench shear, aviation snips, and scotch brite pad the rudder spar went together pretty quickly. I clecoed the spar to the skin, I had not yet closed the trailing edge or installed the stiffeners and decided to do that before I drill the spar incase this would cause alignment issues.
I was able to dimple the VS skin and the Rudder(only for the stiffeners) by myself. I found that keeping the dimpler mostly closed helped to center the hole on the die pin.
The VS and Rudder are now ready to prime

I used my color coded clecos for this to keep track of what I had drilled
