Trailing edge

[donoltman]

Are there alternative products to Pro-seal when holding down the trailing edge of the rudder prior to riveting? I waited a little too long to order the stuff and there are no suppliers in Tulsa

None at all??

I did not proseal (or otherwise seal) my rudder. The march of progress at the Alexander Technical Center did not allow the time for drying, so they routinely skipped it with the advice that one could apply it later if desired. I never did.
Not sure how many builders just skip it, but I see planes done both ways.

I didn't use it either

I didn't use proseal on my trailing edges either. Here's a link to my build log page where I described what I did.

Nice straight rudder shot.

I learned what not to do, when building my practice kit at least....it looks a bit like a banana. Going for the big angle iron on the real thing, much like you did.

I didn't proseal mine either. I just backriveted the trailing edge along a heavy piece of angle iron. Came out perfectly straight.

That really helps a lot. Thanks for the help.
