Well Saturday was indeed a nice day so for the first time I opened up the garage door and worked on the inside of the tail.
This job involves bonding in 2 ribs that join the sides of the fin with the tailplane spar tube.
The edges of the spar tube need flock in the gaps - I used a lot of flock here and actually ran out - so was unable to do the second rib.
Lots of faffing about trimming the ribs so they fit square and perfectly in the middle - hours went by just doing this!
I've got some more flock on order so hopefully I'll have this job done later next week - in the meantime I will put body filler in the gaps on the fuse reinforcing I have done so far. And maybe fit the brakes to the axles if I'm in the mood.
