Brief Description:  Completed rudder skin and stiffener dimpling.

I completed the dimpling of the rudder skin and stiffeners.
The biggest thing to remember is that the rudder is thinner skin and you don't need to mash the dimpler as hard as the other skins. Just a gentle push with the dimpler and it seems to look right. Just don't use the pnumatic dimpler on this!

Obviously, the pnumantic dimpler can be used on the stiffeners. Just make extra sure you are doing the correct side of the skin and dimplers. Check three times - dimple once. (repeat, repeat, reapeat again...)
