Brief Description:  Rudder, fairing for fair lead

Located the position of the fairing on the left side and checked all the stuff on the other side of the skin, discovered the proximity to the J-stringer and interference points.

Concluded that although I had planned to use solid rivets and make it flush, it was concluded that function was going to prevail over form on this task. I did dimple the fairing and countersunk the skin, since it's not structural, I decided that was for 'better fit' but then used MSP-42 blind rivets.

On the right side of the fuselage, I decided to debur and skip the dimple/CS step, since the MSP-42 rivets weren't really soft enough to go flush.

NOTE: The open hole in the #3 photo is for the screw that will secure the Adel clamp on the inside of skin, around the fair lead. This is just a screw/nut arrangement and will get be secured and unlikely to ever need attention again.
