Empennage Fairing ( 3 hrs )
Sect 12-02 completed with Steps 6-7: dimpled nutplates, machine countersunk two locations on rudder horn. Riveted all 18 nutplates. 3 of these near aft end are really tough to rivet (w/ small gap between LH and RH skins). Needed to use my thinner bucking bar plate with the tungsten bar as backup for sufficient mass. But I got 'em done. Installed fiberglass bottom with 18 flush head screws. Turned out really good...YEAH !
