Finished up riveting the Horizontal’s spars, before I moved onto riveting on the Left side skins.

While I was waiting for an extra set of hands, I started to rivet together the Rudder skeleton.IMG_1418.JPG

The instructions give you the option to use a blind rivet on the Rudder horn, but I opted to squeeze them. I had to put the shop head on the outside, but they came out pretty good.IMG_1420.JPG

Spent some time this evening bending the HS-810 and HS-814 front spar angles.

It looks a little crude, but it was accomplished by putting a 1/8th radius on a solid piece of wood and clamping it down with the radius right at the bend angle. Bending to 6 degrees was easy with just small taps of a hammer that were checked with a protractor. The first piece was used as the check of the second spar angle to make sure they were uniform.
