Brief Description: Install Fiberglass Horizontal Stab & Elevator Tips
Today, I fabricated foam inserts and riveting strips for all of the Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator Wing Tips. Next, I epoxied the riveting-strips inside the tips and I drilled attachment holes through the tips and horizontal stabilizer and elevator. I machine-countersunk all of the holes to accommodate CS4-4 pop rivets. I will wait to finish the fiberglass surfacing to close the open ends of the tips until I can get my friend who is an expert in fiberglass finishing-work to help me. The foam inserts will be used as a mounting surface for the finish-fiberglass work. I will do this work sometime after I finish installing the canopy, wheel covers, and the spinner (all will require some fiberglass finish-work).
