Weld on rudder From: "Glaeser, Dennis A" --> RV7-List message posted by: "Glaeser, Dennis A" That is exactly what I did and it worked great. You do have to work quickly, but if you're prepared it isn't a problem. I used a couple of angles drilled so that I could cleco both ends and one in the middle, and put some spring clamps along the length. You don't need a lot - just enough to hold it for the riveting.

Weld on rudder Hi, I am wondering if j.b. weld can be used on the trailing edge of the rudder.

I could see the JBW cracking while riveting. I'll be using proseal next time around. -- Walter Tondu http://www.rv7-a.com Flying! ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:00:21 PM PST US From: "Paul Pflimlin" Subject: Re: RV7-List: J.B.
