Empennage

Empennage Fairings ( 3 hrs )

Worked on LH and RH Elevator Tips (sect 12-05)...trimming to fit at TE, and reduced flanges to 1/2".  Very satisfying to see good fit up along entire edge of Elevator(s).   Drilled #30 holes in both, cleco'ing as I went.  ( Note:  added simple wood blocks as temporary spacers to spread fiberglass tips in middle section for good fit prior to drilling ).  Used reamer to Final Drill the  #40 holes for RH.   Ready to do same for LH, but decided to go swimming instead !
