About half of this was trying to correct a problem. The problem was that, at the very rear, the bottom skin was not exactly under the top skin. Without correction, the rudder would lean 2.6 degrees to the left. Unriveted the side, bottom and top skins about halway to the cockpit without effect. Yoy can't just slide skin sideways till you get down to one rivet! So fifured another way. Showed that the top skin is the correct one. Took off the bottom skin rear extension and tailored a new one which pulled the longeron enough to put the lower redder hinge exactly under the upper one. Ordered a few new parts for final fix including lower hinge and rear bottom plate.

Next went back to work on the longerons and got the inner right one ready to disassemble, deburr, treat and put back together.
