Empennage

Today I checked my stabilizer tips and found that the glue had set up nicely where I put the aluminum strips on yesterday. So I was able to mount the tips to the stabilizers and final drill the holes to #30. Then I took it apart and deburred the holes. I dimpled the holes in the stabilizers and used my countersink bit to countersink the holes in the aluminum. The next step is to close the open ends of the fiberglass tips. I'm going to get Craig Easter of Precision Design to help me out with that since he's an expert in working in fiberglass.
