4.6 Hours -
Nothing too exciting today.
I spent 2 hours finishing the edges of the right stiffeners, 15 minutes dimpling all sixteen stiffeners with the squeezer, 30 minutes removing protective vinyl from the rudder skins, 45 minutes dimpling the skins with the c-frame, and 66 minutes prepping and priming all these pieces. I’m exhausted!
Tomorrow, my Dad is coming over to help. We’ll back rivet the stiffeners to the skins and start the rudder skeleton.
Another one for the FAA...me dimpling the rudder skins with a c-frame.
A fresh line of dimples in the rudder skin.
16 primed rudder stiffeners.
I primed the inside of the rudder skins where the stiffeners will attach.
