It is currently 90 degrees F (32C) at 7 in the morning and we’re also having quite some humidity so the plan is to do the rudder in very small chunks, the first one being just to cleo the spar, ribs and other pieces together. It took quite a while to remember where the clecos were and of course they were loose in a box so I had to pick out the black and the bronze ones. Fortunately the pliers were in the workbench, no need to hunt for them.
Here you can see the pre cut doublers fitting into place
and finally, the whole thing put together. It wasn’t very clear to me which way up the bent strip at the very top goes on so I just clecoed it in place and will verify once I go to put the rudder tip on, it will be very obvious then.
Tomorrow, we rivet.
