Look at this. This is the trailing edge of the rudder. It's so wavy it hurts to look at it.
I know I said I was happy with it, but now that I've really stared at other RV's and seen how it's supposed to look, I hate it.
So, I'm going to re-skin the rudder. I started tonight by drilling out all the rivets holding the top rib in place.
Then I drilled out about 300 more rivets, until the skin was completely detached from the skeleton. The skeleton is in good shape – only a small handful of rivet holes got elongated, and they can be fixed with oops rivets.
So, now all I need to do is make new stiffeners, rivet them to a new pair of skins, and put the new skins on the old skeleton. Luckily I decided I was probably going to do this a few months back, and I have all the materials I need sitting around.
