1. Removed the peel ply. 2. Rough-trimmed the fairing with snips. 3. Rough-sanded the edges of the fairing so the edge of the new layers somewhat match the underlying fairing. (Still more of this to do...) 4. Trimmed some more of the lower-front edge (where it meets the top of the fuselage) and the top-front edge (where it meets the VS). Beveled the lower-front edge so it makes a nicer transition. Overall, I think this fairing will work very nicely. The hardest part will be getting it really smooth.
