Date:  8-31-2018
Number of Hours:  3.40
Manual Reference:  7-12
Brief Description:  Rudder

Completed rolling the leading edge and riveting the trailing edge. Spent about 1.5 hours polishing and screwing a straight piece of Steel angle to the edge of the table in preperation for riveting the trailing edge. Rolled the leading edge (need more roll at the base and less at the lip). Once rolled I messaged the edges to overlap and riveted with blind rivets.

For the trailing edge I screwed the piece of steel angle to the work table and placed the rudder betweeen two tables so only the last inch and the front inch of the rudder was supported. I then back riveted using the proper technique and got an extremely straight trailing edge on the rudder. Removed the plastic and completed the rudder. Of note, I somehow missed a rivet in the bottom of the skin. Ended up squeezing one in, but due to poor clearence it was pretty messy. Shouldn't have any structural impact though. Section 7 complete
