Rudder Progress

today we finished all the preparation for the rudder.  We match drilled the skins to the rudder skeleton.  We next trimmed the rudder horn and manufactured the botton attach strips and match drilled all parts.  Next we disassembled, deburred and dimpled all the parts.  In addition we countersunk the trailing edge wedge.  Finally we prepped and primed all parts.  

Darren match drilling the skins.
