Empennage

Empennage Fairings (3 hrs )

Added flock to epoxy, then adhered doubler to Bottom Fairing along with 2 flush blind rivets.   Used toothpicks to keep epoxy out of 2 tapped holes.   Moved to Sect 12-05 Rudder Tip -- trimmed to 1/2 inch and removed tail area to clear T.E.    Once satisfied with fit,  drilled 18 holes (#40 followed by #30).  Then dimpled skin, and machine C'sunk the fiberglass...and blind riveted.   Pleased with excellent fit and very solid attachment.
