It was nice to get back to polishing aircraft parts again and I sort of remember how to do it, although my polishing supplies are pretty low. I figured before mounting the various fairings and putting things on the tail cone, it would be a good idea to wash and polish things first. So I washed the VS and rudder last week and took it out to the the hangar today for polishing. I probably should've gone all the way down to a Grade F7 polish on the VS as there some spot on it but I just did a Grade C and then Grade S . I did go to Grade F7 on the rudder. Anyway, I'll do them all again while mounted before the airworthiness inspection, whenever that is. Maybe this year. Maybe not. After polishing I went back to where I left off on the instructions and fitted, sanded, mounted and drilled the fairing on the vertical stabilizer. I marked a trim line as instructed but I was out of gas and called it a day before doing any trimming. There's some before and after shots here
