Trailing Edge (Rudder) Rivet Spacing

[HFS]

A little help from VAF members, please ...

I am doing some testing on trailing edge (w/wedge) joint strength and need the riveting spacing there - any help?

If there happens to be more than one "callout" for spacing for different models, I will take that into account in making up test coupons.

Thank you in advance,

HFS

I'm too "old school" to have built anything that current - sad, right?

The trailing-edge rivets on the RV-14 rudder have 1" spacing. I believe the 7/9 rudders use the same skin, so they should all be the same.

Okay, I swapped my ruler for a caliper - yes, it is closer to 1.06".
