Today's work centers around the continued installation of the tail fairing on the RV-12 airplane. As you will notice I left the empennage in place while doing this work. In hindsight this didn't make the task much easier and if my controls were not already rigged I don't think I would have done it myself.
Step 5: Align the front edge of the lower tail fairing for the RV-12 with the forward edge line marked on the tape installed in a earlier step. Then tape or clamp it in place.
Step 6: Align the front edge of the Upper tailcone Fairing with the mark on the tape, while aligning the 3/4" hole with the 3/4" slot in the lower fairing.
Step 7: Sand the edges called out in the RV-12 airplane plans for a good fit and minimal gap. These will be sanded to a final gap in a later step.
This is it for today.
