Started Fiberglass Elevator Tips

With not much left in the empennage, I decided to start in on the fiberglass tips. I skipped this part of the RV-7 build, so this was a little new for me.

First up, position the tips perfectly, then slowly matchdrill to #40.

Matchdrilled.

Then, up-size to #30 (for a #6 screw). I know this should be a #28, but it’s going to be dimpled, so it’s close enough for now.

Upsized.

Then, a duplicate picture!

Another picture!

On the other elevator, I did the same thing. #40, then #30.

Pretty colors.

0.5 quick hours tonight. But wading into the fiberglass wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
