1.5 hours.
Started on rudder 2.0. I thought I was going to be able to make it rudder 1.5, but the original is sufficiently messed up so as not to be able to salvage the spar, counterweight skin, etc. I managed to save the bearing reinforcing plates though, so it’s more like rudder 1.95. Drilled the skin off, drilled the reinforcing plates off, saved the rod-end bearings.. I’ve got more K1000-6 nutplates, so that’s no big deal. Basically starting at square 1 with the rudder. Difference this time is, I know what everything’s supposed to look like when it’s done and where I messed up last time. If I go full-on with this, I should have it done in a week.
Off to Vegas!

Rudder 2.0
finished inventory
3 hours.
Yeah, that’s a long time to check a bunch of parts off a list, but I was making labels and organizing at the same time. After a while, part designations become somewhat redundant, at least when it comes to standard AN/MS hardware, so it got faster.
