Brief Description:  Door latch plates, paint, tail fins

Made a tapered washer to go on the long bolt that secures the vertical fin to the frame and also captures the slider that sets the angle of the horizontal fin. The washer has an angle of 6.42 degrees which is .045" thicker on one edge.

Removed the masking from the left cabin half that I had re-sprayed the interior texture on yesterday.

Installed the three door latch striker plates with four flush rivets each on the left door sill.

Masked and re-sprayed the right side interior texture to cover the red over spray.

Installed the tapered washer and the remaining tail fin bolts and braces. Left the nuts slightly loose until I final adjust the horizontal fin incidence.
