Brief Description:  Empennage Fairings

Time to finish the empennage fairings on the VS and HS. I created balsa wood stops and inserted into each of the fiberglass fairings to close the trailing ends. I placed the VS and HS on the floor positioned to the trailing end of the fairing was level side to side and fore and aft.

Cut some 9 oz cloth to shape and epoxied the cloth into place for each fairing on top of the balsa wood stop. I left about an 1/8" gap between the fairing and the stop, filled with microballons / epoxy mixture. When everything was set up, sanded the ends smooth.
