You can clearly see the profile of the vertical stabilizer tip and rudder tip together don’t form a single continuous curve.
You can also see that the gap between them isn’t uniform. I’ll fill this later to create a uniform 3/16″ gap which is the same as the lower horizontal gap.
I mixed up some filler and applied it to both fairings. You can see that I built up the rudder tip quite a bit. I also widened the rudder horn about 1/16″. I’ll sand all this down with the rudder clamped in trail so that they’re perfectly faired together.
With the internal stiffeners glassed in, I could glue the trailing edge back together. I mixed up some epoxy/flox and put a bead down the back. I used a bunch of small spring clamps to hold the trailing edge closed while the epoxy cures. The clamp in the back is holding a couple of scrap pieces of aluminum angles and span the gap between the aileron and wingtip ensuring that the wingtip perfectly follows the edges of the aileron.
You can also see some epoxy/flox on the outer edge of the wingtip. I needed to add a little bit so that the outer edge of the wingtip could be filed to a straight line.
