Jul 30, 2021 4 Rivet the rudder skeleton time Category: Empennage
Not much to say here other than I riveted the rudder skeleton together. Some of the 470 rivets I had to use a mixture of the squeezer and bucking. The counter balance “box” was riveted and notches were cut in the lead weight to make room for the shop heads. The nut plate strip was riveted and it came out very nicely. I went down to lowes and bought a drimmel drill bit cutter to notch it out. Worked well. Maybe removed a touch too much, but it should be ok. ** After cutting this I stumbled upon a tip with these led weights I will be trying on the elevators. That is just to squash the lead into shape instead of removing material.
