Empennage Fairing ( 4 hrs )
Completed Steps 1-6 in Sect 12-11: Transferred hole centerlines to Fairing, drilled #40, then enlarged with #27 drill. Process worked very well for the opaque fiberglass Fairing. Machine C'sunk all holes in Fairing for #6 screws. Dimpled aft hole in Gap Covers (F14111 L & R ). Removed Vert Stab so I could drill for nutplates while on bench. Note: received Registration for plane from FAA...it's officially
N3714R now ! (quicker than expected - only took couple weeks)
