I got 30 minutes tonight to final drill the holes to a #30, dimple the holes, countersink the fairing, and then rivet it together. Looks good and it’ll look perfect with some bondo or whatever the aviation community calls it.

Right Elevator Fairing Fitted
I got an hour and a half tonight to get the fairing cut and sanded. Tomorrow I’ll dimple and countersink.

Left Elevator Fairing Installed
I decided to take the rest of Labor Day after finishing the empennage attach section to start working on the fairing. I focused on the left elevator since it was more easily accessible. A large majority of the time as dealt with shaping the fairing, both the surface of it as well as the depth of the flange. It looks good and I’ll start on the right elevator fairing tomorrow.
