Before Bill came over and then after he left I worked on riveting the rudder. First riveted together all of the skeleton components, and then drilled and dimpled and countersunk the lead ruder counterweight per the plans and then installed it in the tip rib per the plans. Then, before putting the skeleton in the skin, I added the RTV compound to the trailing edge of the rudder skin at the end of each pair of stiffeners per the directions. Finally cleco'd the whole assembly together and it is ready for riveting. Getting close to finishing the rudder.
