Empennage

I spent the afternoon today cutting the aluminum strips for the rivet reinforcement on the fiberglass tips for the rudder and one of the elevators. After cutting the strips I deburred and then clamped them in place and drilled the pilot holes using the holes in the fiberglass tips as a guide. Once I had everything cleco'd in place and was satisfied with the fit I took it all apart and cleaned it up real well. Finally I glued the strips in place using clecos and clamps to hold them while they dry.
