--> RV7-List message posted by: "Imken" <skikrazi@CenturyTel.net>
Does sticky stuff on the rudder's trailing edge solve a
problem?........beats me. I did not use any sticky stuff either and the
trailing edge is straight, strong and looks better than the extra thickness
caused by the sticky stuff. .....and for those of us who have painted our
RVs, the trailing edge looks good. {;o) Check it out at the LOE fly-in this
weekend.

I did cleco the trailing edge by clamping an angle and drilling through both
angle and trailing edge skin.......and then alternated rivets......factory
head, then back-rivet shop head, then factory head. The angle was worth the
sacrifice to not have to fool with the Proseal. ....enjoyed enough of that
while building the tanks. {;o)

You can't cleco the thing while you rivet it. The proseal keeps everything
in alignment while you rivet.
I built the RV-10 rudder (same trailing edge as the modern -7/-9 rudder) and
had all my rivets oriented the same way. I didn't use any angle or anything
like that. Just prosealed it, then riveted it a few days later. It came
out perfectly straight, no puckering at the back end either. The key was to
take it slowly and go in phases. Partially set every 4th or 5th rivet, then
go back and finish them. At the risk of work-hardening the rivets, it
prevents bowing, I believe, to go in phases. Heck, that's what the
instructions said to do, so why not?
I think some people advocate clecoing it to an angle, alternating
orientations of rivets, something like that (is that in the RV-7 rudder
instructions?). If you use a construction method that allows you to keep it
clecoed while you rivet, then I think the goop is not a necessity in the
least.
Just my take on it.
