Empennage, Rudder (Part 13)

Yesterday, I riveted the Stiffeners to the Left Rudder Skin, so this afternoon I worked on the Right Skin.  In the picture below, you can see the completed Right Skin and the R-00904B-1 Bottom Rib and R-00918 Attach Strip riveted to the bottom of the Skin.
 
The next step in the plans was to rivet the R-00914 Shear Clips to the Stiffeners with LP4-3 rivets.  Here are two different angles showing the riveted Shear Clips.
 
 

During the next work session, I will work on attaching the Trailing Edge Wedge and joining the two skins together.  The video shows the work on the Right Rudder Skin.
