Rudder taking shape

Got some excellent work done on the rudder this week. I primed the stiffeners and anywhere two pieces will touch with NAPA 7220. Then I got my first experience with back-riveting. I really enjoyed it. The enormous slab of steel I bought at a local shop did the trick as a back-rivet plate and the rivets on the rudder skins turned out great. I did some more riveting and I’m all ready to close out the rudder.
