Brief Description:  Rudder - 12 - Trailing & Leading Edges

- Final rivetted the Rudder trailing edge. Not perfect but it turned out OK.
- Rolled the leading edge of the Rudder. I was really worried about this based on the posts I had read on other builder's sites. I was very surprised to see how easy it was. I used a pair of visegrips on a 3/4" metal pipe for leverage. It turned out very nice.
- Clecoed the leading edge.
- Riveted the leading edge with pop rivets. Easy stuff...
- Touched up the primer and temporarily installed the rod end bearings.

* WHAT'S LEFT TO DO:
- Still need to put in a few MK-319-BS rivets where I couldn't get a bucking bar (they are on order).
- Install the Rudder on the VS and fine tune the end bearings.
- Install the fiberglass pieces (may wait until the end for this...also need the System 6 lights for the Rudder).
