I finished up the last of the wingtip reinforcement. I’m super happy with how this has turned out. It’s very light and the tips are substantially stiffer.
I needed to start fairing the rudder and vertical stabilizer, but I wanted to do it on the plane since it will be at a more comfortable working height. With the rudder bottom fairing in place though, the rudder couldn’t be mounted since the fairing hits the tailwheel spring. I measured and chopped off a chunk of the fairing.
This fits a little too tight at the front, so I’ll cut off more later. I can’t just parallel the tailwheel spring though since the spring can flex quite a bit. I need more room at the back to account for this.
I started fairing in the rudder and vertical stabilizer. You can see that there is now a continuous curve along the top and the sides match nicely. I need to add a little more filler in a few low spots, but this is turning out very nice.
