Brief Description:  Rudder

Studied plans thoroughly before starting to rivet anything together to make sure I wasn't missing anything. First I used a scotchbrite pad and rotozip type tool to remove the primer from the trailing edge of the skins in preparation for the ProSeal. Then I proceeded to use the pneumatic squeezer to set the rivets on the reinforcement plates and platenuts. The bottom reinforcement plate was the most difficult, because about five other parts get sandwhiched together there, including the bottom rib, the rudder horn, and a spacer. I had to buck the two outside top rivets on the rib, because I couldn't manuever the squeezer in there. They came out ok, but not as nice as the squeezed ones. My bucking skills still aren't where I'd like them to be.
