Brief Description:  Rivet rudder trailing edge

Removed the temporary angle used to keep everything straight. The epoxy is holding the trailing edge straight.

Back riveted in the manner described in the instructions. Everything worked out great!

I decided to back rivet all the rivets, rather than flipping over the rudder and using the mushroom rivet head. I wasn't confident the rivets would stay put in the countersinks if I flipped everything over the way Vans suggests.

The trailing edge came out pretty dead straight, and the shop heads look pretty good.
