Finish rudder trailing edge |
|
|
Today I finished the trailing edge after a couple of days of allowing the epoxy to cure. So, I began be removing all the clecoes and seeing how straight that aluminum angle kept the trailing edge while bonding. It did a splendid job of giving me a straight edge. Now the next step was to place 3-3.5 flush rivets in all the holes then taping them in place with the rivet tape. Then I flipped the rudder over and using the back rivet set and the rivet plate I back double flush riveted the entire trailing edge as described in the manual. This came out really good and straight. I called it a day after this. Tommorrow, I will do the leading edge and be done with the rudder. |
