Sanding tips
Hours: 1.5 | Posted in Wing & Tail JoinsMore work on the empennage tips: drilled & countersunk the rudder bottom, then removed and sanded. Applied micro to spots on several of the tips, to fill in divots along the joints in factory layups. Put a blob of epoxy around the rivnuts for the rudder light, to make that a little more stable.
Pushed micro into the voids and large pinholes in the empennage fairing; this will likely still need another coat or two of epoxy or filler and plenty more sanding before it’s done.
On the right hand heat control, replaced the black-on-white label with a white-on-black version. The P-touch labeller’s smallest text is larger than the size I was able to print with the Rhino, though, so it’s a bit out of proportion with the knob. If I can find white-on-black Rhino tape, I might replace it again someday.
Slid a piece of nylon expandable sleeveing over the trim servo wires that protrude from the left elevator, for extra protection against chafing the wires. Secured with heat-shrink on the end.
