Brief Description:  Adding splice plates for rudder fiberglass tips

Joggled a few aluminum strips and drilled them into the tips. By the way, since the splice strips are really just (almost) non-structural and almost shims...I like to just insert them in the installed location before holes are drilled in them, then mark the hole locations with a sharpie. I then disassemble and drill the holes out of assembly. This is normally not a good practice, but with how thin all the mating aluminum is, I don't want to wallow out the important holes in the tip rib and rudder skin....so any poor fit that results is "adjusted" in the splice skin.
