Tailcone / wheel fairings

Started today finishing the tabs on the tailcone fairing. The tabs were riveted to tailcone fairing. The upper and lower pieces were then attached together and fitted on tailcone.  The plans state to place the stabilator on to check fit.  I will need to wait until I get some other helping hands before I do that.

I then put a coat of  primer on the canopy frame. I did a few test of different primers and this one seemed to work the best.

I started on the wheel fairings. The main wheel fairings were trimmed to the line. The main wheel fairings were fitted together and the holes drilled and clecoed together.

Time: 3.5
