Empennage

Rudder  (3.5 hrs)

Page 7-5.  Finished Step 2 riveting doublers, including Rudder Horn, Bottom Rib, & Shim.  Added plastic tie wrap clip with pop rivet.  Used several small washers to enable insertion from forward side (due to recess in clip).  Better to have rivet head on plastic vs expanding end.

Yeah!  Just in time, rec'd (6) K1000-6 platenuts, page 7-5.  Installed 2 needed 
Rudder skeleton is done,  so on to page 7-6.   Page 7-6: Step 1&2 cleco Tip Rib, Bottom Rib part B to skeleton.

Then cleco A to G stiffeners together (3 pieces each) and to skeleton.
