Tail fiberglass mod

Tail fiberglass mod

This really cleaned up the airflow on the tail section. We only have the 8 foot tail and I can still pull the nose off the ground at 25 mph indicated.

We just used duct tape and cardboard to fill the gaps and make it look the way we wanted, then did a fiberglass lay up right on the plane. Once dry we pulled it off, trimmed to look good, sanded and painted. Reinstalled with pop rivets and of course got rid of all the duct tape and cardboard.

Super nice! I did a fairing also but extended it forward. I like yours better. Just finished the right side & just started the left.

Very nice.. I have attempted a similar piece on my 601 XL. Not sure how to make it look so nice though... any advise?

I think this is the bee's knees! Got any photos you can email me about how you set this up? Clay or foam or ? Would love to see some pictures of how you did this.
