Title: Rudder Counterweight Install
Had fun forming the LE for the Rudder Counterweight. After folding skins I found I was slightly off on my initial fold line. to prevent a crease I took the lead weight and carefully used a propane touch to melt the outside edges and have the molten material flow towards where the screws would soon come though skin. Allowed to slowly air cool and then tamped remaining slight high areas with ball peen hammer to final dimension counterweight. I also etch primed the overlap skins for protection. The apparent "Line" in the finished primer image is actually from a double prime, I moved the blue masking tape and thus have extra layer primer toward seam. Came out sweet! (Was able to defer page 7-10 Step #4 as there is zero "pillowing" )
