Brief Description:  Rudder cable fairings, rudder stops, etc.

Did some random tidying up in the rear of the airplane. Installed the Avery rudder cable exit fairings first. DO NOT install these before you install the cables as I think that would be a challenge getting them through the slot with the plastic liner. I installed the adel clamp on the liner on each side per the plans first. I had to dimple the fairings, so I did that too and cleco'd them on. I'll wait to rivet when I have helper.
Next was the most aft bulkhead that for some reason didn't get riveted to side skins so I squeezed the aft ones and bucked the fwd rivets. Turned out good.
Then I riveted the rudder stops on- used a tip from Preou and one that I have used before by removing the backriveting set hardware so I have a small flush rivet set for the tight space around the stops. Worked great!
