Brief Description:  Fabricate Fairings for the Aft Rudder Cables

I don’t like the way VANs aerodynamically designed the rudder cables to exit the fuselage near the rear tail cone. The cables exit the fuselage through a thick plastic hose then connect to the rudder-attach braces. These, in-turn, hit against stops. VANs designed a small fairing where the cables exit the fuselage but the stops and attach braces are all exposed to the airstream. Aerodynamically, this doesn’t seem very efficient to me. So…I decided to fabricate some fiberglass fairings to cover this entire area. I’ve never done this before, so it was all new to me.
