After talking it over with other builders, I've decided I need to do a dry run first at working the aluminium. I made a trip to Fastenal, picked up some stainless steel rivets, and am ordering some aluminium sheet and tubing online. I'll make a practice rudder first with the same material that was sent to me. If it turns out well, then I build the real rudder.
On the plus side, buy building it with the same grade aluminium and same stainless rivets, if the build does go right I will have a spare rudder and fin in case I ever need one!
