Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2013 11:06 pmWe riveted together the left ruddervator tonight. Actually we have done every other rivet and half to go back and do the rest. This part is light and stiff.

Yes I did. It looked like I was going to have an interference issue with the rivets, based on where I put the holes in the skin. With countersunk flush rivets no issue.

Keep it up!
