Brief Description:  Match drilled rudder skins, made bottom tip strips

Tonight Justine was cheering at a football game, Diane was at a friends wedding and I ended up staying home with the boys so they could get a good nights sleep. Colten has a youth tackle football play off game in the morning so we couldn't take them to an evening wedding and reception. They wanted to play Halo 3, so dad worked on the plane.

The first thing I did was finish drilling all of the remaining holes in the rudder skins. I then fitted rudder brace R-710 to the spar and made the rudder tip attachment strips. When match drilling the strips to the bottom the rib some of the holes enlarged and are slightly oblong. I may need to use "Oops" rivets with a larger shank and same sized head for some of the holes. It is not structural and only holes a fiberglass tip to the rudder, but it is still important.
