More rudder riveting

Squeezed most of the rest of the rivets in the rudder skeleton. The rivets in the rudder horn are especially tricky. I tried various combinations of yokes and sets until I settled on using the longeron yoke, one medium length set and one short set. It was still tricky to get the yoke in there around the nut plate.

I left until later the rivets toward the rear and the entire trailing edge. I want the technical advisor to be able to look in there, if needed.

The rudder is looking great. Can’t wait to finish it off, even though two of the trickier parts are ahead, riveting the trailing edge and bending the leading edge.
