Rudder skin drilling
Deburred the rest of the rudder stiffeners. Final drilled the rudder skin to the skeleton. Trimed the horn brace and final drilled that as well. It’s not mentioned anywhere in the instructions and not very clear on the plans, but I had to drill through the skin and bottom rib into the side of the horn brace.
I also made the two strips for attaching the bottom rudder fairing. I marked a line along the long edge 6/32″ in (2X rivet diameter) and also along the slanted edge. I attached the strips with clamps to the bottom rib and skin, lining up my line through the holes, and then drilled them. I’m sure glad these kits are now pre-drilled. It’s time consuming measuring, marking, and doing actual drilling (instead of just final drilling).
Everything is now disassembled and ready for more deburring and then dimpling.
