After making my rudder mistake, click here to read more about it, it took about a week and a half to get the part and catch back up to where I was. I started by riveting the reenforcement plates onto the rudder spar, correctly this time.
After this the lower rib, reenforcement plate, and the rudder horn were riveted to the spar.
Next the counterbalance rib was riveted to the counter balance skin, and the counterbalance weight was attached. Then this assembly was riveted to the rudder spar as well.
Then the rudder skins where clecoed to the rudder spar and the counterbalance skin was riveted to the other skins. This took a combination of different riveting techniques to get all of the rivets set. After this was completed, the skin was riveted to the spar and the lower rib.
Finally the top rib was riveted into place, but I forgot to take pictures of this. Next up will be working on the trailing edge of the rudder.
