I used the squeezer the set the rivets along the leading edge of the rudder.\"IMG_4978\"<\/p>\n

Three blind rivets were used on each side of the trailing edge.

Counterweight installed
\nI borrowed a Snap-On torque wrench from SpaceX.
\nI torqued each nut to 27.5 in-lbs.
\nThe plans call out 20-25 in-lbs\u00a0 for 10-32 bolts. I couldn\u2019t figure out what torque caused the nylok nut to rotate. The minimum my torque wrench would measure is 10 in-lbs. I assumed 5 in-lbs causes the nut to rotate.
\nTherefore, 22.5+5 = 27.5 in-lbs\"IMG_4992\"<\/p>\n

Used blind rivets to fasten the top rib to the spar.
\n\"IMG_5006\"<\/p>\n

Riveting completed on the top skin and counterbalance. Three of the rivets were not setting properly. I tried to drill them out, but I opened up the hole too much. I will need to buy Oops Rivets for this issue.

The rudder is starting to look really awesome! Next up is the trailing edge.
