Brief Description: Empennage fairing

Today I worked on fitting the empennage fairing to the vertical and horizontal stabilizers and the fuelsage. I drilled the fairing to the horizontal stabilizer but then found that I had not yet attached the platenuts to the vertical stabilizer. Fairing was removed and platenuts were drilled to the VS, holes deburred and dimpled and the platenuts riveted.
