Brief Description:  Pop riveted the leading edge of the rudder closed

I went flying this AM with Dick Socash in his RV7, it was great motivation to keep working on Kilo Tango. I still need to find a ride in an RV8, but if they are at all similar I am hooked!

When I got back to the house I unclecoed the rolled edge, deburred the holes, clecoed it back together and pop riveted it closed. I then worked on installeding the lead counter weight. I had to use the hand squeezer to squeeze the rivets near the weight a little more(still in spec but on the flatter side so that the lead weight would sit flush. I then installed the bolts, washers and tightened them to the spec.

The rudder is now done other than the two cherry max rivets I need to put in the last rivet hole on the trailing edge. Now to find a place to store it so I can work on the elevators.
