Hello All,
I'm getting ready to rivet the rudder, and was wondering what the consensus was on the need to put a slight bend in the trailing edge of the skins to prevent separation during the riveting process? And if needed, what is the best way to bend it? I have an edge rolling tool, but the trouble Mike Schipper had with his trailing edge using a roller has me spooked. Van's instructions also warn about this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
