The rudder is as done as it will be till I'm ready to hang it on a plane

Pulling the last 2 rivets (the clecoed area will be riveted when it is fitted to the fuselage)

Continuing to rivet the rudder

Starting to rivet the rudder together (the fun part :)

Assembling the rudder for the last time

The rudder nose skin primed and ready to assemble

Rudder rear skin primed and ready for assembly

The nose skin is slid under the rear skin, then it is drilled and clecoed into place

After the skin is drilled and fitted, we back drilled the skeleton and clecoed the skin into place

I predill the skin going through both sides at the same time

After fitting the skin on the rudder and marking the rib lines I am measuring for rivet lines

Once the primer was dry (maybe a little before) I riveted the skeleton together

I am using Zinc Chromate primer on the Rudder, but I am not sure I want to use this on everything

Here is the crate that the rudder kit came in

Here is the crate as it is opened

Thats me unpacking and inventorying the parts

Here is the rudder spar measured and marked for rivet holes and rib placement

Its now time to drill the holes for the rivets

The rudder skeleton has been measured drilled and clecoed together
