| Tail |
| The tail arrived via UPS. It came pretty much as shown. Just had to rough up the tubes, find hinge locations, and prepare for covering. |
| The fabric comes as "socks" that just slide over the frame. Glue down the open end and start shrinking. |
| Used the Poly-Fiber system for covering. Here I am applying the tapes. |
| It was COLD outside! Made a paint booth out of PVC. Heated inside with a portable heater, turned it off right before I began spraying. |
| Close-up of hinge on horizontal stabilizer. |
| Spraying UV protection. My mask is in stealth mode. |
| I learned taping is very time consuming! If I was to do it over, I would have used decals. |
| Finished product. I am pleased with the results. |
