Empennage

I finished up the other elevator today by final drilling the holes to the #30 size and then deburred and dimpled the aluminum and then countersunk the fiberglass to accept the CS4-4 pop rivets. I also got the tips for both the stabilizers closed up and riveted those on with the CS4-4 pop rivets. I got a lesson on applying 'glazing putty' and then tried my hand at it to smooth out the interface on the rudder and elevator tips. I put a little too much activator in the first batch and it set up way to quick on me. I sanded that out after it dried and tried again. It still set up pretty quick but I was able to get it put in place this time. All I need to do now is sand that out and smooth it to the final shape.
