We 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.

Brian, curious, did you countersink those solid rivets in the mini-rudder drive horn?

Ryan,
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.

Left stabilizer tip. Just need to drill the rib to the tip. The fit is not perfect, but I decided that better is the enemy of good enough. Moving on!

Things are looking great Bryan! You've been making excellent progress on the tail assembly, and I'm sure you're excited to start the fuselage here soon.

Keep it up!
