Sep 21, 2021     12-3: HS/Elevator fairings - (1.5 hours)       Category: 12: Fairings
Never ending quest for perfection. Just keep sanding a little here and there to try to get the shape and gap perfect on the horizontal stab and elevator fairings. Right side looks good. Just some final tweaking and checking clearance. Used a tongue depressor to run in and out of the gap to check for tight spots, and then target sanded those to get it uniform.
Still wasn't happy with the left fairing after last batch of micro. The break point ended up in the wrong spot. Sanded much of it down and redid it. I think I'm happy with it now, but still had a little bit to fill near the leading edge. Should be able to sand out that last bit of micro and will be ready for epoxy skin coat and final sand.

Keeping track of time is a guess as it is usually just several trips to the garage of a number of days. Maybe only 10-15 min at a time for a little sanding and admiring.
