Cutting and trimming the rudder stiffeners is not difficult. However, it is definitely one of those times where you need to measure twice (or three times) and cut only once. I got all 16 stiffeners cut, and half of them trimmed and edges prepped.

Rudder Construction Begins
I spent the first few minutes tonight drilling out the rivets connecting the damaged HS-707 nose rib to the HS skin. I then quickly realized that the replacement HS-707 rib I had ordered from Van's was in fact an HS-404 nose rib. Grrrr! Jumped online and put in an order for the correct part and decided to start on the rudder.
