Tail Fairings Trimmed

I got a bit of my energy back and started doing the dirty job of fiberglass trimming. The tail fairings needed to get cut back to the scribe lines. First two large 3/4" holes had to get drilled into the lower fairing.


I have recently resorted to a really brutal tool that gets the rough trimming done in no time. You better watch out what you cut though because one stupid moment could ruin the whole part.


The pneumatic angle grinder was used to do the fine trimming.



And the Dremel and some elbow grease finished the job. For now that is, as the final trimming will be done when the two parts can actually get attached to the tailcone.


Expect more work on the tail fairings...
