Success with tips

I thought I had trimmed away too much fiberglass from my horizonal stabilizer tips but I was able to do a little creative cutting and now have a pretty good fit. I just need to drill holes to final size and attach them. I’m still waiting for a new rib that I damaged. After that, the Empennage will be completed!

Nice fit!

I also epoxied on the tail light faring. Nice! Thank you Sonex Builder SP1 for the help.

Finally, a tip. As you build and get more experience, you will be able to identify sheet metal thickness on the fly. Until then, keeping a few samples around that are marked is very helpful.
