Brief Description: Riveting the Rudder Spar and Bottom Rib
Today, I started riveting the rudder together. The first task is to assemble and rivet the bottom rib and rudder horn. Then I moved on to the rudder spar itself. The pneumatic squeezer, once I got it set up properly, made short work of all this and turned out some great looking rivets.
