Jan 22, 2023     HS and VS caps; Empennage fairing - (4.3 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
1. Cut, bent, and bonded the rivet strips to the inside of the R horizontal stabilizer cap.
2. A while ago I determined that I needed to raise the seam line of the vertical stab cap so that the cap sits at the same level as the rudder cap. The only way to achieve this is going to be to extend the cap's flanges a bit. I began the project of doing this by cutting out some 1-1/2" wide strips of BID glass. Then I applied these on the inside of the cap and stood it upright to cure. I came back every 30 minutes to straighten the flanges as it dried.
3. Applied two more layups on the aft empennage fairing cut.
