Just a lot of work on and off throughout the week. Tough to really keep and accurate tab on time when working in lots of 30 minute spurts. Got the single sided nut plates from ACS and installed on the rudder bottom fairing. That allowed me to finish the bottom after some more sanding, filling, priming, sanding… Got the top fairing sanded to its final shape and installed to the rudder with blind rivets. Then bolted the rudder to the VS to check alignment of the VS fairing. It was pretty disappointing. I aligned the back of the fairing with the step in the skin and there was a pretty big gap at the leading edge, about 3/16”. It also didn't align well with shape of the rudder counterbalance and fairing. I used some scrap balsa to make a rib to hold the fairing open, but still wouldn't come close to the shape of the rudder counterbalance. I made the close out of the fairing using the method from the RV-14 instructions - layup two layers of glass on a flat surface and let it cure. Then bond to the fairing and finish with a fillet of flox and two more layers of glass on the inside. That worked well. Used some flox to reform the leaded edge of the fairing to better match the VS. Once the fairing was closed out, I slathered a lot of micro onto the VS fairing to try to get the shape to match the rudder better. Got the first round of that all sanded out and I'm happy with the fit now. A few low spots still to fill and then final sand, but it's getting close.
