Chapter 19/20 – Fairing flanges trimmed

Today was another assessment and planning day in large part, as I’m looking at all the tasks that need to be completed before I jump into micro-finishing the top areas of the airplane.

On the winglet-to-wing fairing aft wall layup I pulled the peel ply off each of the layups before marking up each side for trimming.

I then trimmed along the top edge where it meets up with the rudder on the left side…

as well as the right.

Here’s an inside look of the cured layup and the trimmed fairing wall, first on the left side (pic 1) and then the right side (pic 2).

I also did a fair bit of refamiliarizing myself with my canopy latch system to get that installed and final to determine my configuration in the finishing on and around the canopy.
