Brief Description:  Rudder initial assembly and Tank Sealant

This was the initial assembly and riveting for the rudder (Round 2 for the skins as I damaged one as described in the previous section).

Overall the assembly was relatively easy, back rivet the stiffeners to the skin, Attach the shear clips to the stiffeners with pop rivets, add tank sealant to the edging, and rivet the final skin to the shear clips. Then cleco the rudder trailing edge together.

I opted to place a straight board on top of the edge and clamp that to the bench. Seemed to work very well.
