6. Remove the clecos from the ribs on right side of rudder and place front of skin on
front side of the shorter hinge flange. This makes it much easier to drill the front
rivet row in the skin as the longer “flexible” side is supported by the short “stiff”
side.
7. Lay out and drill rudder hinge per drawing.
8. Working on a flat surface, rest the bottom end of the rudder on a 2” x 4” block and
the fixture block at #3 on a 2” x 4” block. This will prevent a twist in the rudder and
allow room for clecos holding ribs in place to clear the table top.
