More vertical stab work...

This is where I will make periodic entries regarding the build progress of my kit. I will post photos, and discuss work completed or problems encountered.

More vertical stab work...

Post by MikeFairbanks »

I finished the stab access flanges, fully installed, bonded and rivetted. I had to notch the front flange to clear the comm antenna I installed in the stab...

Next I started working on the fiberglass stab trailing edge. I got it cut to length, holes for the hinge points and rudder travel stop cut, rib notches messaged to fit right, and finally glued into place.

So... after all the work I did to get the vertical stab fairing to fit nicely I realized I had done it wrong and had to remove it and redo it. Here it is after making the necessary changes and gluing back in place.
