1 hr yesterday and 1 hr today finishing the elevator filleting and rivet filling (while I figure out what the hole alignment issue is).

There was a pretty big gap between the skin and the tip, so I figured it would take a couple of passes to fill it.  This is today after the 1st pass has dried (pre-sanding).

Post sanding.  Definitely needs a second pass.

Taped up again and the 2nd application is on.

Don't forget to pull the tape right after you apply the filler because you don't want the filler drying over it.  So, we'll see tomorrow whether it's done.

NEXT TASKS:
  1. What's the issue with the holes?
  2. Sand the fillets on the elevator and sand the last of the rivet heads.
  3. Tail cone assembly continued.
  4. Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling.?? (to be done in "spare" time).
