Brief Description:  Riveted rudder TE, rolled LE, installed counterwei

Rolled the leading edges using a piece of electrical conduit drilled to the leading edge. Added slight bend to the overlapping LE and riveted using LP4-3 pop rivets. Installed AN426 AD3-3.5 rivets in the trailing edge and held them in place with riveting tape. Used back-riveting plate and set to partially set the rivets. Then, turned the rudder over and used a mushroom set with the plate and final set all the TE rivets, making sure the TE remained straight. Installed the lead weight per the plans and bent the skin to cover it. Used the rivet gun and mushroom set rather than a hammer to finalize the bend. Installed the screws and center rivet per the instructions.

Rivet count: 104 Total: 977
