I finished attaching stiffeners to the first rudder skin by clecoing the stiffeners on, then removing a few clecoes at a time, putting in rivets, taping, flipping the skin, riveting, flipping it back over, removing a few more clecoes, etc. That works well, but takes a long time with all of the flipping it over to do a few at a time.
Is there a reason I shouldn't put a few clecos in on each end of the stiffener, place and tape all the rivets in between, flip and rivet in one go? If the manufactured head is neatly in the dimple and the tail is standing straight up, I'd think I'm good to go?
As an aside, I find this one of the most difficult aspects of being a new builder (not working at an airport with a bunch of tech councilors all over), trying to decide what is necessary quality and care and what is just time wasting.
Thank you for your thoughts!
