Empennage

Empennage Fairings  ( 2 hrs )

Final drilled eighteen #27 holes for attachment screws.  Decided to Machine C'sink fiberglass Rudder Bottom while still attached w/ cleco's - so #27 holes in alum underneath guide #6 C'sink (vs Van's instructions to do last and while unattached).   My trial piece of only fiberglass seemed to allow C'sinks to drift as fiberglass hole was enlarged.    Then started drilling rivet holes for nutplates using #6 screw to hold in position.
countersinks in fiberglass (used clecos to hold as Machine C'sunk.
