Back from my family visit in Michigan, so back to more fiberglass work. The third time's the charm on the HS tips. The second try with the leave-it-in foam and flox over the top worked great, except the tip was bulged out and fatter than the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator tip. So out came the dremel and I cut all that last try out. I squeezed it down with my hands to try to smash the foam a bit, then with the elevator even with the tip, I clamped it eever so slightly with a C-clamp to get it just right. I moved the elevator out of the way and floxed over it, after it cured about two hours, I put some epoxy/bead filler on to smooth it out. Looks to be right this time! :)
And here's the result after sanding the next day.. Looks good!
And after having a perfect right tip, the left one doesn't look so hot anymore. This was an easy fix, though, see tomorrow's page for the conclusion...
I also put a bunch of epoxy/bead filler on the rudder top tip, and some flox to fill a thin spot on the VS tip.
