Rudder Assembly and Right Elevator Prep

There's not a lot to say for the work today.  The plan was to assemble the rudder.  Before we started we primed the counterbalance skin where the main rudder skin overlaps it.  There was quite a lot of riveting to do but the rivet squeezer saved us a lot of time.  We assembled as much of the rudder as possible (had to leave the trailing edge and one of the bottom sides open for inspection).  The last thing we have to do is to roll the leading edge.  
Before we quit for the day we finished dimpling the right elevator skin.
