After letting the Pro-Seal cure for about a week, I worked on riveting the trailing edge today.
Pro-Seal had to be cleaned out of some of the countersinks.
I installed all rivets into one side of the rudder and taped them with rivet tape
To actually rivet the parts, I stared by partially setting every tenth rivet. I stated moving to the other rivets with my mushroom set so the entire trailing edge was flush. I need to come back and closely look at each rivet, but I think it turned out pretty good.
I bought a .75 inch diameter pipe from Home Depot to roll the leading edge. This process took some force, but it turned out fin
Leading edge riveted with blind rivets. I still need to spend some time smooth out this surface.
The final product!
I swear I’m actually super pumped about this.
