Empennage tips 5

This post covers two evening work sessions. First up – completing the vertical stabilizer tip. The tip is going to be removable, but I still wanted to fully enclose the rear. I used some foam and fiberglass. Neither are secured to the rib or skin.

I also completed the remaining sides of the rudder.

And flipped the horizontal stabilizer to do the bottoms.

Here is the completed vertical stab tip. I will clean up the edges and then use some body filler to complete the job. 

I sanded the completed areas and trimmed excess fiberglass.
