Stiffeners on rudder, new HS skins

Today the new skins for the HS came, only 6 days after telling Van's about the errors. The new ones are better, and will fit, but they are not perfect. It is impossible to make the HS according to the drawings with them, there will be at least 2-4/16 of an inch wrong. In my opinion Van's should do one of two things:
  1. Make them right.
  2. Make them oversize so the trailing edge has to be trimmed.

Back riveted the rudder stiffeners to the rudder skin. (It is strange how my camera insist on making the Strontium Chromate green, when it is yellow)
