Brief Description:  Rudder Riveting and Lead Prep

A few odds and ends on the rudder. With the tip rib removed, you can rivet the counterbalance skin. Next I final bolted and screwed the tailwheel steering arm and longerons. Also, I had to drill a few more holes in the lead weight to get it close to the weight it needs to be. I will leave it pretty heavy though to account for the rudder paint. Then after the rudder is painted, I will drill the final balance holes in the underside of the counterbalance intermediate rib. Also, as a note, if you are drilling into lead, make sure you use plenty of cutting fluid. Otherwise, the bit cannot clear it's chips and bad things happen.
