Brief Description:	Dimpleing VS and working on Rudder
Began the day finishing updrilling the Vertical Stabilizer skin, and any remaining pilot holes on the frame. Then deburred, scuffed, and dimpled the Vertical Stabilizer. At this point I decided to set it aside for now, and finish the Rudder assembley. Unfortunatly, I had a really hard time getting good pilot holes drilled on the first few holes I tried. The back skin didn't have any backing, so I couldn't put much pressure on the bit. The bit was apparently defective as well. It wanted to walk sideways instead of drilling. It almost caused me to botch a hole entirely, and I might install a larger rivet in its place. Anyway, I spent over an hour fabricating a piece of wood and a way to clamp it inside the rudder, to act as a firm backing for drilling. I also got a new #40 drill bit, which is probably the only thing I needed to do in hindsight. I had hoped to get the rudder assembly finished today, but as least what I did get done is done right.
