* If this is your first time doing fiberglass work, [https://vansaircraftbuilders.com/fiberglass-101.aspx start here]. It's worth figuring it all out and getting good at it now because for most builders this is the start of quite a bit of fiberglass work in your future. | |||
* Epoxy has a shelf life; purchasing one quart will be plenty for this stage and you may also be able to use it for the wingtips. | |||
Modifications to Consider | |||
* It may be easier to purchase your tail light before attaching the rudder bottom fairing. | |||

* Step 1: Good results were achieved by clamping an aluminum strip along the recess edge and then using a Dremel with router attachment to square the edge. Even though the Dremel has the potential to eat into the aluminum strip, one can guide the Dremel in a fashion where it barely touches the strip. | * Step 1: Good results were achieved by clamping an aluminum strip along the recess edge and then using a Dremel with router attachment to square the edge.

* It is possible to 3D-print a mold and lay up a fiberglass cap that goes onto the leading edge of E-912 instead of building it up to match the curvature of E-913. The 3D-print project is here [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/2d18e62c34f9871d62d595bd/w/62ed52794e9db993635c4b5a/e/878ad7f4480a4767bfe7c195?renderMode=0&uiState=6243a8118871e6462234511d at Onshape]. The 3D-printer file is here [[Media:HS Fairing Mold1.stl|HS_Fairing_Mold1.stl]]. | |||
* It is possible to 3D-print a mold and lay up a fiberglass insert that goes into HS-910. It has the right curvature and it has the necessary kink to match the Elevator counter weight leading edge. The 3D-print project is here [https://cad.onshape.com/documents/fcd78f2ce5fcf8549652b724/w/efce270e7d34aa85633c27ce/e/b25eb27fde3cd5777347d51f?renderMode=0&uiState=6243a8b37aa9182ef0561832 at Onshape].

* Step 6: There is no machine countersink bit with a pilot that would fit exactly into the threaded part of a #6 screw (#36 hole), only for the #28 hole that the screw goes through. Use the countersink bit for 3/32 rivets (#40). | |||
