Rudder deburring and dimpling

Hours: 7.5 Manual Ref: Page 7-6, steps 7 through 11 Partner: N/A

I spent a few days deburring and dimpling the various rudder pieces.  Not much to report on here.  Lots of twirling a deburring tool and using the squeezer and/or C-Frame to make what must be a 1000 dimples :-)  I did like the idea someone had of using a dowel to take the protective coating off of the skin.  That helped immensely!  For a time-lapse video of the dimpling process, see rudder dimpling
