I finished up the last of the wingtip reinforcement. \u00a0I’m super happy with how this has turned out. \u00a0It’s very light and the tips are substantially stiffer.<\/p>\n

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. \u00a0With the rudder bottom fairing in place though, the rudder couldn’t be mounted since the fairing hits the tailwheel spring. \u00a0I measured and chopped off a chunk of the fairing.<\/p>\n

This fits a little too tight at the front, so I’ll cut off more later. \u00a0I can’t just parallel the tailwheel spring though since the spring can flex quite a bit. \u00a0I need more room at the back to account for this.<\/p>\n

I started fairing in the rudder and vertical stabilizer. \u00a0You can see that there is now a continuous curve along the top and the sides match nicely. \u00a0I need to add a little more filler in a few low spots, but this is turning out very nice.<\/p>\n
