Brief Description:  Rudder trailing edge

Riveted the trailing edge on the rudder. Was putting this off as others have had issues with twists in the completed part. One side is already taped to the right skin so I pulled the backing and attached the left skin to the trailing edge and aded clecos to hold it together while the tape adhesive does it's thing. Next the flush rivets are placed in the holes and taped over to back rivet. Starting at the bottom and skipping 10 riverts at a time worked to the top. Next started again at the bottom I skipped every 5 rivets until I made it to the top again and so on until the rvets were all set. The results were very good and I am happy with the straight trailing edge and no twist induced during the back riveting.
