Ready to rivet the rudder trailing edge
Well, here it is. Make it or break it. I decided to go with Van's instructions all the way on this trailing edge construction, except for one thing. I used a large, heavy piece of steel angle to use as a back rivet plate. This monster piece of steel was going to insure a straight rudder edge (or so I hoped). I removed the aluminum angle and put flat head rivets in every dimpled hole. Then I covered the rivet heads with painters tape (didn't have any riveting tape). Update 12/28/2008: Here's the tape I should have used for holding the trailing edge rivets in place, Scotch® Removable Magic™ 811 Tape.
