Brief Description:  HS Tips-nearly done

My log is a little behind-again. These fiberglass tips are rather boring and don’t make for very interesting reading in the log. Basically, over the last several days, it has been the same routine on both of the HS tips. Add some Super FIl, sand most of it off, apply more, sand more bla, bla, bla. One thing I did discover, when applying Super Fil, especially near the end of the tip near the curve, is that I can wet my finger and smooth it out—was easier to contour to shape than using a credit card. Anyhow, plenty of fill and sanding with an occasional shot of high build sanding primer to confirm what my fingers were telling me about highs and lows. Tonight, I’m declaring the left HS tip done—not perfect, but done. If I kept on this till perfect, I’ll never finish this bird. The right tip is getting close to done—I’m still working on feathering out the inboard edges for a smooth transition from aluminum to fiberglass.
