Jan 23, 2023     Empennage fairing; Access cover; Left HS cap - (3.9 hours)       Category: Tail Feathers
1. Sanded the inside of the layup I did yesterday on the empennage fairing.
2. I put the fairing in place and duct-taped it to the fuselage to get it to lie down. Then I put on some oven mitts and used a heat gun to try to get the fairing to take a better set. I don't think I was able to really make much of a difference, but I might need to use more heat.
3. Installed the left elevator.
4. Installed the L tail access cover and checked the clearance from the L elevator. Match-drilled the top edge of the cover to the fuselage using a match-drill strap. Repetitively removed and trimmed the cover until the proper clearance from the elevator shaft was achieved.
5. Trimmed the left HS cap so the elevator counterbalance clears it.
6. Shaved and filled six blind rivets in the left elevator.
