Jul 30, 2022 Rudder 07-11 - (5.5 hours)

Category: Empennage

Completed Rudder page 07-11. I scuffed the top of R-912 where the lead weight will sit and used Proseal on the bottom of the lead weight to bed it in. Tightened up the screws. On the aft 3 rivets for R-903, I could rivet the 3rd hole back so I used AN426AD3-3s in that position instead of the MK-319-BS. Last 2 holes have the MK-319-BS.

Jul 15, 2022 Rudder finishing up 07-09 - (1.3 hours)

Category: Empennage

Proseal can be messy. Finished up using Proseal on the trailing edge and riveting the skins together. Only mixed up 10/1 grams of Proseal. That was plenty for one side. Happy enough with the roller application. Will let it cure for at least a day.

Jul 13, 2022 Rudder 07-09 Step 1 - (1 hour)

Category: Empennage

Used ProSeal for the 1st time. Mixed up 20:2 grams by weight. It mixed up more than I needed for step 1. Will only mix 10:1 for the left side. Will wait at least a day to get started on step 2 to allow the ProSeal to set up. Was messy, went through 3 pairs of gloves to not get it on other things (like my phone for pictures).

Finished the initial dimpling of the skin called out in 07-04. I received the CS4 dimple die set (Cleaveland tools ships fast!) yesterday. Then did the mockup called out in 07-06. I'm back ordered on VA-140 trailing edge, so I'm going to read forward to see what I can do without it. Hopefully I'm not stuck on the rudder...

Category: Empennage

Riveted up the rudder spar. My empennage kit had some back ordered rivets. Yup, you guessed it I'm B/O on the AN470AD4-8s. Spruce had them in stock, ordered these and some of the other HW that is B/O at Vans. I won't be able to finish the rudder though, the trailing edge wedge VA-140 is also B/O. I'll get as far as I can on the rudder without it.

Category: Empennage

Primed the interior parts for the vert-stab. Not real happy with the spray of the zinc-chromate primer I bought from Spruce. Its not available anymore so after I use the remaining 6 cans, I'll need to find another primer. I've read some have had good luck with SEM primer (smooth application). Not as good from a corrosion perspective.

Finished up 06-03 and 1,2,3 on 06-04. Working the deburring and will prime after. Not happy with the Cleaveland hex deburring bit. It seems to be leaving/creating burs. I emailed them to see if it is user error. I maybe using too much pressure. Learned to roll duct tape on a bit or on itself along with cardboard to deburr the inside edges of the ribs.
