Rudder

DISCLAIMER: Rudder photos suck. Sorry.
This is what the rudder should look like when it is done. This is the factory plane that I took my demo flight in. This is a shot of the #2, #3 and nose rib clecoed to the rudder spar. Here I am with the guts of the rudder. Notice the shirt! The rear skin in clecoed to the skeleton. Notice I didn't have my rivet spacing tool yet?
For time lapse photography, here I am again with the trailing edge on. Leading edge skin clecoed. The L.E. skin is actually UNDER the rear skin at this point. After the holes are drilled, the L.E. skin will be put back on the outside where in belongs. Once again for time lapse, here I am with my rudder. In case you are wondering, that is just funny lighting. I assure you that there is no twist in my leading edge!
