Brief Description:  Tail Fairing

Once again, a short day. I had to replace the O-Ring on the left brake of my BD-4, and pump up the tires.

Today I cut a cloth pattern to fit one side of the tail fairing. This shape was transferred to poster board, then the poster board pattern was used to mark the outline on fiberglass. I am planning on four layers of fiberglass, with two layers cut parallel to the weave, and two layers cut on the bias. Two layers will overlap at the front and the other two will be cut back to eliminate a thick area at the overlap.
