Completed a few rivets on the Rudder Control Horn and checked over pieces - 2 hours


I checked over everything (The HS, VS, Elevators, Rudder) to make sure that all was good and I have missed nothing. There was the control horn on the rudder that I didn't quite finish off so I tacked those rivets. I managed to get the majority of them with solid rivets, however there is just the one rivet that I just can get with the longeron  yoke that I have. The nutplate inside the control horn is just in the way. I think i'll hold off on this rivet to the very end. I imagine someone at the local EAA chapter has a longeron yoke that will work.


Finally I have done everything I can, so now to book the Canadian pre-cover inspection ($435 plus mileage...Ouch!)
