Tailcone fairing again!

From this point on, everything I did was done while ensuring that the pushrod was centered in the slot by using cardboard to keep everything spaced properly.

I also made sure that the top of the fairing was properly spaced below the rudder.

I then used the extension marks from the tape as called out in the KAI's to mark the location for the mounting screw holes.  Before doing this, I made sure the front edge of the fairing parts were more or less aligned with the edge line that was drawn on the tape.

After that, I pulled everything as tight as I could and taped it with Gorilla tape,  Then I drilled and cleco'ed the fairing parts to the tailcone.




Same same on the bottom one.




Double checking the pushrod clearance and centering.

Then I worked my way around the cutouts marking for clearance to allow the stabilator full travel without hitting the fairing anywhere.  I also attempted even up the left side with the left side to make the cutouts more or less symetrical.

Double checking the rudder to fairing gap.
