I attached the fairing last night with some pop rivets (sorry, no pictures), and put a layer of the 1.45oz/yd fabric over the joint.  This morning, I removed the peel-ply and did a little sanding.  The joint looks pretty smooth now, but with a little lightweight filler, this will be sweet!

I dimpled the left elevator skin in preparation for riveting.

I did a little more work on the trim tab tonight too.  It’s hard to see here because of all the clecos and cleco clamps, but the trim tab horns have been match drilled to the trim tab skin.

The epoxy took too long to cure last night (even with the 205, fast hardener) to make any more progress, so I came out this morning to put the glass in place.  I used two pieces on each size of lightweight 1.45 oz cloth (the flexible stuff you see hanging off the sides).  I covered it all with peel ply (dacron) which is the stiffer looking cloth you see in the middle.

After work, I peeled off the peel-ply and trimmed the overhanging fiberglass.  Looks pretty good for a first effort.

I also mixed up some epoxy with some WS410 (microlight fairing filter) and filled the open end.  I’ll sand this back to prove a concave surface to allow the rudder to swing freely while still providing a tight joint.
