Project: BuckRV-8     -     Entry

Nov 16, 2023 3.1 Fairings under horizontal stabilizers Category: Tail Feathers
1. Used an old plastic hotel key and several plastic scraping tools to pop the fairing layups off the airplane.
2. Did a rough trim of the fairings with Wiss snips.
3. Marked and trimmed the fairings closer to their final shapes, then test-fit them on the airplane.
4. I decided that both the fairings needed at least one more layer of glass on each side. Prepped the fairings, cut new cloth and mixed up more resin, then applied a new layup to the outsides. (Once this cures, I'll do the same on the insides.)
5. Applied peel ply to both fairings, and perched each of them on a pair of painter's pyramids to cure overnight.
