Unfortunately, I didn't seem to have a lot of energy to
putting hours into the build. Work is really busy and taking a lot out of me. I
managed to dimple the rudder stiffeners. My standard dies don't clear the
radius of the stiffener, but after a little head scratching, I used my
3/32" tight fir dimpling die from Cleveland tool in the press, which
worked out very well. I ended up putting
another order into cleveland tool for the small diameter dimple dies, as well
as a screw on mandrel that I am missing for deburring operations. I also put an
order in to Aircraft Spruce for some Dow Corning RVT #3145 clear. I thought
about going Ultra Blue from Permatex, but I opted for the expensive stuff since
I am applying it to my stiffeners and skins which are epoxy primed.
