Brief Description: Riveted Hard to Reach Rudder Rivets
I've been researching and trying to come up with a way to drive solid rivets in the narrow areas of the rudder ribs. I used a variety of tools to achieve my objective with mostly good results. I sort of cratered the last rivet on the hardest to reach rivet on the top rib. You can see it in my mistakes category. I probably should have just used a pop rivet but I was just so driven to get all solid rivets set. It can probably be covered up when it comes time for paint so I'm not too worried about it. I would love to make the perfect airplane but it dosen't look like that will happen but I will try to get as close as I can to one. I used a flat piece of metal mostly to indirectly back-rivet with and a masonry punch and flat crowbar to get the last few rivets done.
