Brief Description:  Riveted the rudder understructure.

I used the squeezer to set all the rivets for attaching the reinforcement plates, nutplates, ribs, control horn, horn brace and shim to the rudder main spar. They all set properly but I over squeezed one AN426 so I drilled it out and set it again.

The plans called for optional blind rivets for the rudder brace to rudder control horn but I was able to used Universal rivets throughout instead.

Next up is riveting the top rib and rudder skin.
