after riveting the trailing edge joggle of the rudder...

Applying epoxy in between the trailing edge and left overnight to cure before riveting for a straight result.

Almost done expect for the counterweight which i plan to delay it till the very end..Reason being lead is poisonous / toxic if not handled properly causing infertility etc + to avoid contamination of my drill bits due to dissimilar metals. So will place the unfinished rudder aside while i start on the horizontal stabiliser.
I will be Back..

Which involves getting my hand into the limited space together with a bucking bar ...especially it can get quite dark inside to see the end result. Patience does it..

Riveting the right skin is more challenging...Will explain in the next picture

Now time for the right skin to meet its brother...

Results after lots of riveting noise...Tadaah!!

Hmm...looking more like a rudder with the skin in position
