Hi all

I've just started to countersink my rudder skins and am wondering if there
is any reason that the very top and bottom rivet holes could not also be
drilled to size and countersunk (CS4-4 rivets) while I'm doing the rest of
the skins. I couldn't find any reference to these holes in section 7.
Having said that maybe the fairings for top and bottom fit differently after
the rudder is assembled. Anyone know?

Also for the Canadian builders. I'm wondering how far I can assemble the
rudder before I have to stop to allow the MDRA inspection?

Thx

Rick

You have to match drill the holes into the rudder top and rudder bottom fairings. It's best to leave the factory holes until you get to the Empenage Fairings section.

Rick those holes on the tiop are for the fairings and they will be final
drilled along ways down the road follow the plans to the steps and you will
do fine.

Thx Jesse and John, I decided to "leave well enough alone" and wait until I
see instructions in the plans.
Regards, Rick

I found it best to speak with the individual inspector from MD-RA. Our inspector was fine with being able to roll back one skin and look in. I'm sure with the first inspections he will want to see all rivets, both shop and bucked heads. Later , if your work meets his approval he may let you close up small areas so the component will have a larger amount of work completed to inspect. He will use a mirror or bore scope ( if you have access to one) to look inside the closed in areas.
