I first glued the bolts for the light in the lower rudder fairing. Then I assembled the upper parts to see what has to be done so everyting looks good. As the picture shows, the right part on the rudder needs to be extended a bit and the left part on the vertical stab might need some height adjustment.

Today i continued working on the vertical stabilizer and rudder tips, first by deburring, dimpling and countersinking the upper tips' holes.
Then I did some work on the rudder lower tip, by installing the strobe-nav light combo. As everybody before me I will have to glue in the mounting bolts as they are inaccessible once the tip is riveted to the rudder

As I cannot prime the fuselage parts, I decide to tackle the empennage tips.
The vertical stab tip is the easiest to adapt. It has to be closef off. I'll do it by inserting some foam, the add a layer of glass cloth, and finish with some filler.



The upper part of the rudder is more tricky, there is some cutting and sanding to be done.



To finish the session, I glue some aluminium strips on the backside of the tip so as to allow a better grip for the rivets.
