The only empennage fiberglass tip I haven’t touched yet is the rudder bottom. Over lunch today, I snuck outside to make some dust.

Out of the box, it looks like it’s going to fit great, once I trim enough to fit around the rudder horn.

Here’s a closeup of the angle I need to trim for.

Let’s make a cardboard template so I can transfer some cut lines.

And here are two pictures of my template lines transferred to the fiberglass tip.

…and…

After trimming, it fit like a glove! Once in place, I spaced out 8 holes within the two black sharpie marks for the attach strip.

Here’s the left side drilled.

Yikes, this tab that fits over the horn is sitting a little proud.

And the right side upsized to #30.

I really need those screws and nutplates to continue.

1.0 hour.
