Brief Description:  Finished Rudder reinforce plates, rib, assoc parts

This morning I was able to work for a while before loading the camper up and taking the boys and Margo camping for a guys weekend. We did a little fishing, threw the football around and sighted in the shotguns for deer hunting back home in Wisconsin. This will be Colten's first year to carry a gun and he is pretty excited.

I worked on the rudder brace assembly and finished riveting everything together. Some of the rivets were difficult to get at with the squeezer, but the longeron yoke made it possible. I had a small start of a smiley on one rivet, but it was only cosmetic so I didn't replace it. The spar and rib are very light and look flimsey, but are quite strong once riveted.
