Oct 02, 2021 4.0 12-3: Elevator fairings Category: 12: Fairings
Quite a bit of time here and there over the last week sanding down the skim coat on the elevator fairings. Very few pinholes. Did the right side first and sanded out all the orange peel, then shot with high build, filled the few pin holes, more high build, then finish sanded with 600 grit. Went ahead and attached to the elevator with pop rivets. A small amount of pillowing between the rivets. I honestly don't know how you would avoid that without epoxy bonding the whole thing together. Masked off the end of the elevator and I will prime with Ekoprime.
Got the left elevator sanded out and initial shot of high build and glazing putty. Finished sanding and installed left elevator fairing.
Overall pleased with the fit. Wish it wasn't pillowed as much. It's certainly good enough for flying and will get all perfect during painting.
