Working on my rudder. As I read the instructions, Van's has you roll the edge before you rivet the skin to the frame.
From builder's logs and videos, I'm seeing more? roll after they rivet to the frame.
It appears rolling first will complicate the skin riveting to the vertical spar, and I would think the roll will be "cleaner", straighter with the skin riveted first, roll would not "leak" beyond the spar rivet line.
What did you do?
thanks
