Empennage

Empennage Fairings ( 1.5 hrs )

Only took a few minutes to dimple Horiz Stab and C'sink Tip Fairings.  Then I mixed West Systems 105 resin with 206 Hardener, adding in 410 Microlight (microspheres) until reached a "peanut butter" consistency.  With this much microlight added, expect it will be easy to sand.   Applied around perimeter of inset fiberglass sheet to create a smooth chamfer.   Since I had extra, used to start smoothing in leading edge of LH & RH Counterweight transition to fiberglass on Elevators.   Since need to cure several hours, time to go swimming !
