The almost completed rudder assembly. The counterweight has been installed and I am still working on the control horm brace at the bottom. | ||||

The rudder control horn brace going in. I was able to use AN470 rivets where the clecoes are shown here by using the longeron yoke in the squeezer. | ||||

The completed empennage assembly propped up together for the next couple pictures. I'll hold off on the fiberglass tips until final assembly since they are rather fragile and I don't want to have to fix any dings later. | ||||

Empennage total time: 196 hrs. (I never claimed to be speedy!) | ||||
