I am not sure this was caused by my technique from over-driving the back rivets, or because the AEX extrusion had big gaps between the rivet holes. Either way to outcome was good (only one smiley location on the entire trailing edge).<\/p>\n<\/a>The rudder cap is called for in Section 12, but I still have to fix 5-8 rivets on the counterweight spars.\u00a0 In the meantime I trimmed down the fiberglass cap to fit inside the rib flanges.<\/p>\n<\/a>Here the cap is dry fitted to the rib flange and aligned with the trailing edge. Next step is drill out with a #40 bit.<\/p>\n<\/a>The rudder cap here is drilled and clecoed into position. That’s it for the time being on the cap. Later in the build I will final drill to #30 size, countersink the fiberglass piece, and dimple the rudder skin in preparation for LP3-3 blind rivet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
