More fairing work

I've soon completed all the fairing works that is possible to to at this stage. Just some dimpling, sanding (with spray filler) and perhaps a layer of primer. I'm really looking forward to start on the aft fuselage😊

Just now I'm on my way to Aero Friedrichshafen were Vans are having a stand, and the first flying RV-14 in Europe shall be on display. I'm really looking forward to that😊
The nut plate in the aft part was very difficult to rivet.
I tried differentechniqueses, but ended up taping my bucking bar
 to a steel bar. 

All nut plates installed.

Next was the top fairing on the rudder. It was
quite straight forward.

It was required to grind a groove in the front
to get it flush.

This is the top fairing on the VS. It has to be closed by
a patch of fiberglass (see 12-07 Step 3).


A final strip of fiberglass is glued into the HS
tip fairings.
