Well, another short trip to the shop today.

With my holes already drilled and the rudder side already dimpled, it was time to attach some nutplates to the rudder tip flange and then countersink the 19/64″ holes for the dimpled rudder skin.

No action shots today, but here is the tip with the nutplates installed.

At a shot with the tip screwed into place.

There is still quite a bit of fiberglass work to do, but I’m pretty happy with the initial fitting of these fiberglass tips. They’re secure for now, and we’re getting close to wing kit arrival.

I’m going to delay buying all the stuff needed to tackle the rest of the tip tasks until I need a break from the wings.

0.5 hours, 28 rivets.
