Pre-Paint>Fuselage>Empennage>Fit vertical tail fin
Objectives of this task:
To fit the vertical tail fin to the fuselage, including fitting the static probe, static tube, optional
strobe light wiring and the VHF antenna coax cable.
This is a complex task and you should note that the final fitting, which entails the use of
epoxy resin and flock to bond the fin to the fuselage and glass fibre cloth to reinforce the join,
must be completed in one continuous action from start to finish. This task will take most of a
day – in our factory with trained staff we allow a morning to final fit and reinforce the fin, so
plan on at least that amount of time and probably quite a bit more.
You will need at least 1, preferably 2, other people to help you with the final fitting of the
vertical tail fin – do
not try to do it by yourself.
