Empennage - Riveting Stiffeners

Just about ready to put the rudder together after preparing and priming the stiffeners and sheer clips..


I'm so glad I made the dimpler. It makes thing soooo much easier. If there are those out there still wondering if it's worth the money, the answer is "YES". There's apparently one sheet of aluminium under the cockpit floor that the DRDT2 won't reach some holes which is why when I made my version, I made it a few inches longer to allow for this.


Lining up the rivets for the R-915G-1-R stiffener.


All stiffeners ready to rivet.


Both skins etched, primed and dimpled.
