Horizontal stabilizer gap fairings: 6 hours

This work was done over several days:


  • Worked on lower horizontal stabilizer gap fairings
  • Mine are going to be riveted to the fuselage. In order to achieve a very close fit I had to make new fairing strips using the factory supplied pieces as templates.
  • I did the right side first and it was a slow process to get a good fit. The left side is almost identical to the right so I just used the new piece as a template and it went quickly
