Brief Description:  Rudder - Leading Edge

I didn't click any pictures of this task, but it went much better than I thought it would. I brought some 3/4 pipe from the house and taped it to the leading edge. Then, with the help of Dad and Cormac, we rolled the skin using the pipe. It ended up keeping the curl pretty well.

The trick was getting the holes lined up. Dad helped hold the dang skin while I worked the Clecos in. Then, I drilled the holes larger and put in blind rivets. I ended up drilling out the entire middle section after turning the rudder over. There was a gap in places. So, we curled the skin some more and put new rivets in. I think it looks great!
