Title: Fiberglass tip for vertical stab
I have been putting off installing the fiberglass tip on the vertical stab because I didnt have enough hands. I had to firmly hold the tip with one hand while trying to form the sheet metal around the fiberglass, while also pushing the tip hard forward against the metal for a good fit, while also accurately drilling the holes. I finally bit the bullet and got it done and I am happy with the results. Other than that I am moving to Dallas in about three weeks and I have been working on prepping (deburing, scuffing, cleaning, dimpleing, 2 part epoxy primer)all the parts that I can in an effort to use up all of my chemicals before the move. At this point I am very close to being done with the prep work and only have one more spray session and that should be it. When I am ready to build again in Dallas I think I am ready to just build and I expect things to move quickly. The last two pictures are to document the scratches around the holes that need to be dimpled on the flaps. I was a little worried they might crack.
