Today I managed to finish the sanding of the rudder, still the priming to do.
I also added two new websites to the links page : French Jabiru seller's website and the new website about the building of an RV-9A by

The end in not as near as expected. After a final sanding, I applied some primer and the result is not as ggod as expected. There are a lot of pinholes and some low spots. Still soma sanding to do. Next time I will also change primer, this one is from an car parts store but I have one which should also fill the smaller holes but I will have to shhot it with the paint gun.



To try to solve the pinholes problem I painted a thin layer of pure epoxy on the horizontal stabilizer tips. We'll see how it looks tomorrow.

Today I had enough time to sand all final fill the tips. The most difficult one is the rudder bottom due to the shape of the rear strobe and forward cable supports.
I still have the finish sanding to do, some difficult to reach places to sand correctly and the shoot the primer.
