Brief Description: Rudder

Picked up some aluminum angle and attached it to the trailing edge with clecos. This should keep the trailing edge straight while the sealant is drying. The instructions say to allow a cople of days for the sealent to harden. A liittle nervous about using this sealant. I've been told that this can be really messy. I also formed the leading edge of the rudder using a broom handle and duct tape and blind riveted the pieces together..

The aluminum angle in place to keep the trailing edge straight..

Theading edge is rounded and blind riveted.

A boo-boo from using the wrong bucking bar.
