Step1-Position
the R-1003A Top Rudder half on the R-1001-L Skin as shown in
figure 1. Rivet it in place using the rivets called out on page
7-12, Figure 3. However, leave open the forward three holes to
allow the skin to be pulled back for access when attaching the
counterbalance weight

Step 2-Rivet
the R-1003B Top Rib half to the R-1001-R Skin as shown in figure
2. Use the rivets called out on Page 7-12, Figure 3 and once
again, leave the forward three holes open.

Step 1- Rivet the
R-1010 Shear Clips to their respective stiffeners on the
R-1001-R Skin using LP4-3 blind rivets.

| Note we did the riveting
of the trailing edge different from the way the plans called. We
built a drill jig from a piece of heavy angle iron and mounted
it to the table. Used the trailing edge holes of one of
the pieces to mark every other hole and drill it out. We then
put rivets in every other hole and taped them and clecoed the
rudder with the trailing edge onto it and it served nicely as a
full length bucking bar. It gave us a very nice straight trailing
edge
Another builder used our idea and sounds like improved
on it a bit. Check out his web page, it has a very excellent
presentation. Click
