Pages 07-03 and 07-04 Rudder Finished

About another 2 hours on the builders Hobbs


Today my son and I finished the rudder.  Man that was cool to finish the second major piece of the tail kit.  I did have some issues with the length of some of those solid rivets.  They just seemed too long for the application.  In the end they squeezed fine.


Unfortunately I have a week off from building.  My wife and I are heading to London in the morning.  The anti-servo tabs will have to wait til we return.


On the flying front.. I have my check ride rescheduled for the week after I get back.  Hoping to be a sport pilot soon so I can get in lots of practice before the -12 is done.


Here is a not so good picture of the finished rudder.
