Brief Description:  Riveting the Rudder

Riveted the stiffeners to the Left Rudder Skin using the technique previously described, then began riveting the Rudder Skeleton together. I thought I'd be smart and roll the rudder leading edges before I riveted the skins to the rudder skeleton. Didn't turn out too badly on the rudder but it didn't work very well at all when I got to the elevators and I would not recommend rolling the skins prior to riveting the skins to the skeletons. Moving on, images 2 and 3 show the Rudder Skeleton coming together with the reinforcements installed first and then the Bottom Rib is clecoed.
